I am currently using Firefox 3 and a Mac OSX Leopard. I deleted the cache and cookies in case it was that but it wasn't. Do you have any ideas?

On another note my connection seems to crash when uploading large files or doing other things which fills my limit. Not sure why because my XBOX 360 is on the same wireless router and is the same distance away as this macbook, but never sees any fault in connection.
Anyway to speed up my browsing? Such as Firefox plugins or something?

So disable (not remove) all plugins, restart Firefox and re-enable plugins one at a time.
However, the cause is unlikely to be Firefox.
Try the Plusnet speedtester.
Attempt to make the BT speedtester work - although it probably won't.

There's no specific issues with web browsing that I'm aware of.
We'd need you to run both a BT and a normal speedtest in order to investigate.

Results Image not loaded
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Your DSL connection rate: 3168 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 917 kbps
Plus:
They seem relatively normal, but are not true to what I am experiencing. For instance, lynda.com has streaming videos, they always used to stream smooth without waiting, now I have to wait 10 minutes or so for them to load. When I am uploading things to deviantArt.com my connection goes dead. The websites I go to load slow to say I am on broadband. On some sites images load as if they were on a 56k connection.
Nothing at all you can see on your side? This happens with both my wireless routers and on both my mac and the PC.
