If you're using a dial up modem (56Kb max.), that's why. If you have Cable or DSL, call your Internet Service Provider and explain the problem to them.
They are there to resolve these kinds of issues at no charge.

When connected, hover your mouse curser over the little "2TV icon's" in the tray, and see the details. See: Speed XX.X Kbps this is connection speed in thousands of bits per second. Downloads are sized in bytes so you divide bits/9 = bytes. If you determine that the connection speed is much faster than the actual bytes per second realized then it could be your anti-virus software slowing things down, try disabling it for a test run and see what happens.

Your download speed is no greater than the provider allows.

Have a friend bring their laptop over to your place and see how well it does on speedtest.
