poor internet connection

We have a Westell 327w and it cannot handle more than one computer accessing the internet at the same time.  I understand that the more hosts that access the same connection the bandwidth is split up but when just 2 hosts are connected one streaming video and the other engaged in online game play the connection is barely past 1 mbps down and .02 mbps up.  Would a new gateway help or a new ISP?

With just one computer running and no other applications on the computer running, what speed test result do you get when you perform a speed test at http://testmy.net/ ? Use the server selector at the top right corner of the page to choose your region first.

What I need to know is your download and upload rate in Kbps or Mbps. You can screenshot, copy/paste, or share the results.
