My pings are reletivly low, but the speeds are very slow.
When pinging 64 bytes to 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS), My average speed is around ~56ms, with almost no packet loss.
When pinging 1508 bytes to 208.67.222.222, my average speed is around ~180 or sometimes ~360, but never higher, with about 1% packet loss.
I have these quick pings, but when I try to download something, my speeds are between 4kb/s and 30kb/s.
This connection has been in excess of 600 - 800kb/s when functioning perfectly.
The adapter's app reports 80 - 85% link connectivitity with ~90% link quality. (It's an ALFA AWUS036H, using the RTL8187 Chipset)
The adapter is connected to my Windows XP Pro home server, which repeats it to my laptop via an Ad-Hoc network. The home server doesn't report any better of a connection. The Adapter has almost perfect line-of-sight to my neighbor's house down the hill, with the only interference being some light foliage.

LOL
Maybe fire up wireshark or something and see what kind of traffic is on your neighbor's network? What about larger pings? Do you get more packet loss? When was the last time this network functioned well?

Actually, I have solved this problem. The 'almost perfect' line of sight sucked. i found a better place for it. Now it works perfectly.

Seems like someone woke up on the wrong side of the cock this morning.
