Actually, the "fact" that QoS-Service slows down network access is just an urban myth, in truth it doesn't. It's also not necessary, so killing it won't hurt anything, but it's not going to solve the problem.
The first thing I do when I install XP for my use is to kill off all the gingerbread junk and use classic menus, set the delay to 0 for all menus, and turn off web content in all folders. This has a significant effect on the apparent speed.
As far as the Intenet speed, is it possible that you're not connecting at the same speed, the modem could be getting a slower connection. Also, you may not have compression enabled on the connection.
