It sounds like a problem with your ISP. I have Clear Internet and I've never had any problems with my connection...it's super fast, and if you have their mobile Internet you can literally access it anywhere in the city. If I were you I would see if something like this was available in the area.

If you don't have a rapidshare premium account downloading from there is a joke. Rapidshare totally suck now! Their throttling of the speeds is a joke. It is rapidshare's fault.

Try use something like mediafire. also download managers like flashget can boost your download speed :)

If you having problem with your ISP, then change it into another one, ask your friend which broadband provider is the best, don rely your internet on that one, find a better one
