Internet Speeds is different on different computers

[logancable]

heya i have bell sympatico High Speed edition in canada and on my desktop computer, its bandwidth is around 250kbps dl, i think thats like 30KBps [or watever the symbols are to kilobit/byte].

now when i connect the internet [directly to my laptop] im getting an average speed of 1360kbps [170KBps]

does anyone know what would be the reason of these differences?

maybe i have something, like a trojan or watever they're called that would be slowing down my comp.

is there any programs i can use to see if i do have any problem like this??

is there a way to like reset my internet connection or watever?

thanks a bunch.

if theres any info needed from me to help me, lol, tell me, thanks!

There could be a difference if one computer is noticable faster than the other. Since I dont know your computer specs I can only speculate. Also, is this a wired or wireless network? How are the computers connected? Router, hub, switch?

A couple of programs you can use to find and delete spyware are AdAware SE and spybot
