1st 128K took 3094 ms = 42363 Bytes/sec = approx 352 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 2914 ms = 44980 Bytes/sec = approx 374 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 2384 ms = 54980 Bytes/sec = approx 457 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 3204 ms = 40909 Bytes/sec = approx 340 kbits/sec
Not 150k but not 600 either !?
I generally find speed tests are a bit flaky, which I why I use the win2k sp4 download as it consistently will serve well over 2mbps.

Yep, a slow running 600k. That speedtest is very reliable (I have tested lines above 25Mbps on it - certainly more reliable than pulling a file across the pond, and using the speed as calculated by IE
)
Are you sure nothing is eating bandwidth on your PC ? - a simple test is to close down everything you think is using the net and then go into network connections and double click on the LAN connection. The send/receive activity counters should remain steady (i.e. no network activity). If they are still clocking up packets/bytes then something on your pc is still using the connection - and is probably the cause of your problems.
