Hi,

In addition to what Sabahattin mentioned, it is entirely possible that your 
network may slow down while a Time Machine Backup is in progress.  The 
processor on the TC is likely reserving some bandwidth for your backup process 
as well as processing your network traffic.  To manipulate settings on your TC, 
go into Airport Utility,, Interact with the Network Group then VO-space on your 
Time Capsule.  A pop-over will open with a Scroll area and and Edit button.  
The Scroll area will give an overview of your Time Capsule info and the Edit 
button allows you to modify more settings.  If you have the Guest network 
turned on, that will also rob some of your bandwidth, so, I'd just turn it off 
which is accomplished by unchecking the appropriate box from within the 
Wireless pane of these settings.  As Sabahattin and others suggested, check to 
make sure that your Cable modem is in Bridge mode.  Your ISP is usually the 
only one that can re-configure the Cable modem in this fashion.  The reason 
that you want this done, is that when it is supplying DHCP and NAT services, so 
likely is your TC which can cause Double NAT errors.  NAT is Network Address 
Translation which helps direct network traffic wherever it needs to go.  The 
network speed advertised by your ISP is a maximum, not a constant.  My ISP 
maintains that I have a 100 MB connection, although, I'd venture to say that I 
seldom see that kind of performance.  When using Cable modems, you also need to 
realize that the bandwidth is shared amongst a number of people in your 
neighbourhood using the same ISP.  You can ask for a dedicated bandwidth from 
some providers, but this usually is reserved for business clients and is far 
more expensive.

HTH.

Later...
