Re: Is my ISP capping my DL speed?

Firstly, you've got your kilobits/kilobytes mixed up.
kbps = kilobits per second
kBps = kiloBYTES per second

I'm going to assume that you mean kiloBYTEs.

Deleting your history, cookies, temp internet files will have no effect on your download/upload speeds. I'm not sure why support suggested you do that.

Which new ISP are you with?
What plan are you on? You said you have a 7Mbit download speed, but what is your upload speed?
Go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and report back your actual download and upload speed.
In your bitTorrent application, make sure you set your maximum UPLOAD speed to be 80% of the upload figure.
