I think the problem is in part the time capsule, and in part the modem. We're connecting using the cable modem provided by our service provider. When I say we took the time capsule out of the loop, I mean that we connected my husband's PC directly to the cable modem. Even then we're not getting the speed we're supposed to be getting, but it's significantly faster when we don't run things through the time capsule.
