Very Slow Broadband Connection

I am currently running Win 98 SE. My isp is Comcast High-Speed (?) cable. Honestly, as slow as the d/l speed is, I may as well have dial-up and pay MUCH less than I'm currently paying. I have a two-fold question: 1. Is there a program (preferably free, lol) that can identify if my system is the problem and where the bottleneck(s) are? I currently have TCPO Optimizer, and have configured for optimal performance. 2. When I contact Comcast regarding the very slow speed, all I get are excuses. Are there specific things I should be requesting from them to improve the performance? Obviously, this assumes that the problem is their's and that my system is OK. I should also mention that I'm using a wireless router (Linksys) WMP11v4. the signal indicates "excellent" and "Quality" is always "Very Good" or "Excellent" Thanks for any help anyone can provide. If you care to email me directly, my addy is jameshelwig_2000@yahoo.com
