What I do is disconnect from wireless network to use wired connection when speed testing. I got tired of having to do that so I disabled my adapter under device manager.

Right click on the active adapter, select properties, post screenshot.
Why is it set as a public network?

I really don't know why it's public. *shrugs* Should I change it?

If you're connected to your own network with only your computers on it then it can be set to Private.
The dialog window looks okay otherwise; I've seen where some AV programs decide to add their own protocols to the adapter, but you're clean. What's under the sharing tab?

Right now the best thing I can think of is to rule out your hardware by booting into a CD/DVD based OS that has networking support.
I deleted my previous post because I'm not sure of the legalities involved in using the software I linked to.

WIN | type MSCONFIG | ENTER | STARTUP tab |
Uncheck ALL except for:
REBOOT!Script:Sidebar Microsoft Corporation C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe /autoRun
MSC Microsoft Corporation "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe" -hide -runkey
You have just told Win 7 to not run unchecked programs at start up time.
You have not disabled the programs. They will be run when needed.
WIN = key with the Microsoft logo on top
=================================
I expect you will see a better performance.

kiddo,
CCLEANER | TOOLS icon | STARTUP tab | SCHEDULED TASKS tab |
Use DISABLE button to disable ALL
Close CCleaner.
REBOOT!
You have not disabled any programs. You have disabled the scheduled running.
Later, after your system is running smoothly, you may reenable desired programs.

I'm not sure how to go about trying this.
Karlsnooks, I did just as you asked. After disabling startup programs, my speed was 1226. It's still 1226 after disabling scheduled tasks.
It's almost like my computer is allergic to speeds higher than 1300. How frustrating.
Ever since uninstalling Norton, I keep hearing some kind of alert when I boot up. I hear it as soon as I get on my desktop and then continue to hear is about 3 more times within 5 minutes. It's sounds something like Dadadadum lol. I don't know how else to type it out.
