Well, what speed is your net connection meant to be exactly? I have a 2Mbps connection from Blueyonder and, depending where I test it, can get results ranging from 1.2 to 2.2 Mbps.
Most bandwidth calculating sites have high margins of error and inaccuracy, and the speed of your connection can be affected by numerous things. In fact, I sincerely doubt that any speed issues you are experiencing have anything to do with your broadband modem if it was working fine with your other system.
Upgrading your system won't increase the actual speed of your internet connection, although I imagine you already know that.
