Make sure you really are connected at your correct speed.
My Qwest DSL drops its connection pretty much weekly. When it reconnects its always connects at a slower speed. I have to reset it (reboot) my modem so it well reconnect at the fast speed.

Your DSL provider might be congested or VISTA might be screwing with it. Norton is a really BAD Security program get CA internet suite. It wont slow you down at all and updates are done daily to make sure your well protected. you might want to check your Ethernet adapter has the latest drivers and it might be going or is defective so chekc those things out when it doubt buy a new adapter there only like 20-30 buck for a descent one.
to many downloads
Vista could be the problem as it is a very demanding program. And it even could be norton has that is a big resource hog for some people. You may want to uninstal it from their web site with the removal tool and swich to AVG, it's free and works a lot better.
