What speed is the service supposed to provide ?
?

Additionally, how are you measuring that speed ?

Is the speed measured with a web browser download ? If you take time to enter the save location, then the browser {mozilla-based at least} will already have been downloading, but it doesn't start counting time until you choose the save location. You then get an artificially high kB/sec figure that reduces down as time passes to the correct download rate. [eg 1GB file. take 1 minute to choose location/name. at the moment you hit save, there is already 1 minutes download received, in 1 second leading to the artificial number]. I don't know why that would be different though with only a firewall change.

Have you tried gkrellm ?
Have you tried wget ? It list the transfer rate during and at completion.

Have you set MTU to 1492 or less {to account for ADSL overhead} ?
In administration|network check set MTU to 1492.
By default it will be 1500. stuffing 1500 bytes into a 1492 byte packet doesn't go - so the router has to break the 1500 byte packet into a 1492 byte packet and another one containing the remaining bytes and all the associated headers. This can impact router performance - especially if you have many outgoing network connections eg gnutella/bittorrent.

Are you using a default fedora iptables setup {ie by firewall and security dialog}, or manual or other adjustments ?

Could you provide output of ifconfig {shows MTU and whether ipv6 is enabled} ?
