There's a lot of things that can effect speed. If you're getting conected the router is basically doing its job. There's a recent situation I've ran into. The T-1 shares its lines with the phones. In other words if no phones are in use the full banwidth is available to the internet and as phones are used the lines are taken from the T1 connection. Usually 128 to 256 K is the least that the speed will go.
If you can connect a console session with the router you can use the IOS commands to check details for the interfaces.
All communication from the router is logged and can be viewed. The results should show where the problem is.
show interfaces
show ip traffic
More than likely its not actually a problem with the router but a setup issue or something happening with the incoming or outgoing packets. If you're using any of the cisco management products there ma be issues with the recent outbreaks of buggies.
Cisco offers great support. You can chat with a tech online. The phone assistance is really good too. There's more info than you could read in a lifetime.
Because of the higher cost of T1 service I would make the telco or ISP handle any issues first.

Contact your T1 provider they can pull a history of your line up and tell you if there have been any slowdowns.
When you experience a slowdown, do a traceroute to the url you are trying to reach. If you get past the router you know it is Jake.
Good Luck Lee
