As much as I like it for security, the firewall on our router at home is driving me insane. I am not tech smart enough to make it work well either =_= We should just do an open connection with cable when and if I move back here. I think in 3-5 years depending on how things go, I want to find a job at the local hospital here. I think in the long-run, working at a hospital will do me some good because the benefits at hospitals and government jobs are the best. Also considering that my father retires in 5 years (7 if he wants to work longer), I want to be able to take care of them here. I also want to give my parents a reason why not to move from where we currently live.
Anyway... as I was saying... I really hate the firewall on our router. I have no idea how to get it give us 100% of our DSL. We are only utilizing 41% according to this connection test thingy I took earlier. I just don't understand any of this computer stuff. I've also been having connection issues all day long. It's really aggravating =_= *sigh*

The router may not actually be the problem. You should check your modem too. If you plug the the modem straight into your computer, and test your speed, it should tell you if your modem or router is dead. The router should be pretty fast. I got 1.5mb/s off my router at home. Check the modem. That might be the problem.
As for router firewalls, they shouldn't affect your dl speeds. The firewall just prevents connections. You can always open ports. Check here how to do it. http://portforward.com/
