Internet speed worse than 98% of USA

Why is my internet speed this bad? the ping seems good, but with these upload and download speeds I'd have to wait hours to download just 1gb.

Holy crap, that's awful! With today's tech and the market's current availability, there has got to be some serious interference (like a 802.11B Wireless router with 200+ connected devices; sitting next to a perpetually cooking microwave; stored in a stone vault; buried 100 feet underground) or something wrong at the ISP level. Still, without knowing what devices make up your network, it is quite literally, impossible to know.

Try this for WiFi:
1. Change the channel on the router
2. Disconnect other devices
3. Move router away from interfering devices

Try this for LAN:
1. Swap your Cat5/5e cable with one known to be working in good condition
2. Connect directly to your modem/router or if you're modem and router are separate devices, connect directly to the wall

And for the record, at your current speed, you would need approximately 9 hours to download 1GB (~.25Mbps x 32 seconds x 1024 MB / 8 = 1GB)

Why do you think this is your ISP and not your LAN/your equipment?

AsRock motherboard? They're one of a few companies that include some traffic shaping software to "reduce you ping". It really just drops your bandwidth down so much that it keeps stuff like YouTube or BitTorrent from flooding even the slowest of connections.
