   Win7 User1 gets good thruput User2 sucks

   Stand alone non-networked windows 7 laptop. User1 gets good throughput.   
   User two throughput sucks. Using ping to google DNS, ping times good for   
   user one, stalls for user2. When mac address is changed on Admin User1   
   and then logoff and go to user2, SOMETIMES user2 good throughput is   
   regained.   
   Appears ISP is identifying users by some parameter other than mac   
   address? How can they do this other than by MAC address? How do they   
   know what user on the same computer is connecting? I do not think this   
   is a issue with router settings. Also I notice sometimes after changing   
   mac address throughput can be regained by slightly moving antenna a few   
   inches. BS alfa interface shows good connection regardless of   
   throughput. I know some ISP have sophisticated programs/equipment to   
   know the exact location of the antenna and maybe also to know which user   
   is logged in?  Help please.
