Couple of thoughts, since I had similar problems...

Who is your Global Service Provider?  I had problems with Qwest, but
when I switched to Genuity (sp?), I was fine.
What does a traceroute to some distance site show you?  Any slow points?
Are you losing packets (ping some site)?  I was losing 50% packets
through Qwest.

I don't know if it's Qwest's problem or ours (it could be they have
switched routers in my area, and it doesn't do something it should.)

And why do you need to reboot?  Does it lock your computer up?
