Poor network performance is common in Vista unfortunately. I've suggested below 3 things you can try (not in any particular order). Hopefully one (or all) of them should get you back on track.

Try Control Panel -> Turn windows features on or off -> Untick "Remote Differential Compression"

This hotfix may also help you -> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/931770

You can also try turning off "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level" - details for this can be found here -> http://www.neillans.co.uk/?p=165
 
Have you tried disabling IPV6? I the version I trialled it was enabled, which crippled my net connection

Network connection properties, ensure that the box that says IPv6 is unchecked.
