Check for viruses - most of the time, they soak up ur internet connection (but I presume its not this, since you have already tried turning off your computer while using the internet).

Disable ur firewalls.

If you have a router, directly plug ethernet into your modem and test your speeds.

If all is well, it is most likely your internet provider.

My internet sucks right now, and its Bellsouth's fault...

Read my Removing Virtumonde tut, if your Internet lags so badly, you probably have this virus.

is it possible beacuase the heat j/w?

Yes it may be the heat on the router or the modem, try turn both off for an hour and unplugging the contacts (Yes, you survive without autoing and SRL-Forums for an hour. )
This has helped me before.

EDIT: If that does not work, try plugging your computer directly into the modem. If no/less lag, go buy a new wireless network router, and throw the old one into the sea
