If there's a dodgy connection somewhere on the line, even between your PC and the wall, then it can reduce your connection speed.
Besty, see if you can use the laptop plugged into a different socket in the house.
Also see if you can use it with the PC's modem lead (ie the lead from the modem to the telephone socket)
