i'm assuming you're dialup, here.
in the dim & distant past you probably disabled modem compression on the old
install and have forgotten to do that on the new. also make sure all
'quality of service' rubbish is switched off as this will rob your bandwidth
& increase ping.

Yeah, what DustJunky said.

I have an ASUS P4PE mainboard, and I originally was getting nearly double
the latency/ping by using the onboard LAN (ASUSTeK/Broadcom integrated LAN
Controller). I put in my old Linksys 10/100, and used that without a problem
for weeks. Eventually until it dawned on me that I had NOT installed the
latest drivers for my chipset/hardear from ASUS, and had let windows install
some generic driver for the integrated LAN controller (I noticed when I
realized my G4 Ti4400 was running in PCI mode instead of AGP 4x.. I'm all
WTF). I installed the latest chipset drivers off the ASUS website and
everything started running smooth as glass.
