That says "Your line speed is [*3.75 Mbps*] (3751 kbps).

mirror.aarnet - 'firefox-3.5.2.tar.bz2' saved [9863958/9863958] 509KB/s

I know the router is synched at around 13Mbps.

IIS "New Posts" takes about 6.6 secs to load from scratch. 143KB at 21.80KB/s

According to whois, the IIS website is in the US. Maybe the "tubes" are a bit full.
(Google for Senator Ted Stevens - "The internet is not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.")
