i am having serious enough speed issues. I am on the extreme and i went to http://speedtest.shaw.ca and my average dl is 2.82 mbps.. with a 30 ms ping and .9 upload. that's with windows running normally. I try the same thing in windows safe mode with networking enabled and it jumps up to 10mbps. then i used my macbook pro (MAC OSX) and it jumps up to 17mbps. i am like wtf...! then i dual boot into windows on my macbook pro and same story as the other computers.

anyone have any idea? on one of the computers i tried it on was just reformatted too and got 10mbps in windows safe mode with networking but in normal windows mode the connection speed drops. I have nothing running except Kaspersky AV.

I've done the tests with every computer connected directly to the cable modem and also connect through a router with is then connected to the cable modem.

Then I spoke to shaw and he said that he will escalate my situation to the techs but cannot guarantee they will do anything since I am getting optimum results in safe mode on the shaw speedtest site.
Please note that I am getting good results with speedtest website:

But I don't trust these results. I don't think they are accurate at all. My internet was fast up until a week or so ago? I know it could be the other side too but I spend a lot of time on the computer so it can't be every site is slow right?

Anyways, I do have a seperate issue that I would like help or an opinion on. I play a lot of Starcraft 2 and I usually never lag but yes ..I've been lagging a lot lately. Both my sister and I do. and no.. no pictures of her.. lol. I have 2 IPs from shaw how can I take advantage of that? I got 2 routers(DGL 4500 and a DIR 615), a bunch of computers, a super old hub, and a switch. I am currently only using the DGL 4500 router that's it. I think if I can get my sisters computer on a different ip and mine on another it would solve the problem of port forwarding for both of us. (yes i already set the port forwarding but I think it only works well with one computer?)

SORRY FOR THE LONG READ WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP!
