It is one of two things:

1. Your cable is not good.

2. You need to clean your registry from errors and invalid entries. Registry errors causes slow internet connection. You can find more information and reviews on registry cleaners at the link below.

Answer 2

Is that a 120 foot phone cable, or an ethernet cable to your modem?

Phone cable would be bad... ethernet cable would be fine.

Does it work fine in the house?  Directly plugged into the modem?
