Please help with installing Windows 7?!?

I have a pretty nice HP computer (8 gb RAM, 750 gb hard drive, and a 2.80 ghz processor) but it came with Windows Vista Premium. I bought Windows 7 Home Premium, which HP recommended to do and said was fully compatible, and it works fine. The only problem is that I can't use the internet at ALL, I have a 4 mb/s internet plan, but I don't even get 500 kb/s with my computer. What's the problem? I have went back to Vista again because of this problem.

    be sure to update your drivers.

    Did you remember to re-install the drivers for the motherboard after you installed Windows 7? It may be as simple as the Ethernet card requiring Windows 7 drivers. Good luck with that.
