There was nothing wrong with the connection itself, as long as you didn't use any P2P programs or play online games. If you do any of those two things, Oninet is not the best ISP to have at the moment. Since I live in Europe I'll compare it to somewhere closer. An acquaintance of mine, from Sweden, recently changed his ISP also. It took him 5 hours to do so. This decline in performance was recent.

I would be rather speechless if they made the same mistake with Welsper. This decline in performance from Oni is a recent deal, or has it always been like this? Very ironic how you can download better with a 256kbit connection than with your 4mbit one... The problem with my connection is its inconsistency; Mostly during the day, the speeds can become unbearable at times... but that is somewhat compensated by the times when I can actually reach my top speed (>1MByte/second).
