I’ve had windows 7 ultimate and my download was exactly 25.99mbps download and 13.44mbps upload. I switched back to XP because windows 7 was lagging too much, now my download is 10.00mbps download and 8.53mbps upload. I was wondering why the internet speeds changed so dramatically?

My Windows 7 box has faster response times for web pages loading then my XP box and both use the same router/comcast.
I suspect Windows 7 is just doing a better job of caching by design.
The question why is 7 faster than XP is like asking why is broadband faster than dialup. Old technology compared to newer technology will always have newer being faster since that is what the market demands.
I just found the “Magic Bullet”.

Download the free TCPoptimizer utility.
Make sure you reboot, and BINGO!
It seems XP doesn’t optimize wireless adaptors like vista and win7.
Hope this helps.
