Given the same internet speeds, with tests done back to back on the same day.
New router, WNR3500L, can achieve 27-29MB/sec.
The old router, WRT54G, can only achieve 14-15MB/sec.
This means picking a good router and good firmware will affect the speeds your ISP is allowing you to use.

One thing to note though, with your new router, you're probably connecting through N, while on your old router you're connecting through G.
I'm debating whether to switch to a N-router or not. I've been reading articles on SmallNetBuilder, and it seems that N-router doesn't increase the speed/distance (ie. you'll be able to connect at a farther distance with a N-router, but speed between a N-router and G-router would be roughly the same at X meter [X is the distance where you can still connect to G])
