Are you sharing cable with other units on your complex here? That bandwidth sounds very slow, even for Cablemas.
For what it's worth, Cablemas has two plans currently, 256kbps and 1.5mb. If you are on the lower of the two plans, you can and should upgrade.
As for laptop memory... you don't trust your local computer guru here anymore? Really, just cuz Vista doesn't like me (it's a mutual dislike), shouldn't reflect poorly on my skills.
