seems like we are getting somewhere now... if browsing the net with mozilla is working fast, than it definitely doesn't look like a network problem... network problems have the good symptom of being neutral, if there is a net problem, everybody feels it.
about the telnet ... it's just a way for you to get a feel for the network, if the response is quick, if it is taking too long to resolve a name, if you actually have connectivity to the site, you know ..things like that ;)
telneting to google on port 80, you are doing just what your browser does, and the "get /" is the keyword to start downloading the web page, but since you terminal is not a browser, it gets disconnected right after it.
brent@Linuxbox:~$ telnet www.google.com 80
Trying 216.239.37.99...
Connected to www.google.com. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< here... you are connected
Escape character is '^]'.
get /
Connection closed by foreign host.
