How do you know your speed is different? Can you quantify the difference?

Actually download speed with xp is around 30 kbps and in arch its around 22 kbps which is ok ..But the more severe problem is browsing experience ..Sites take a lot time to load ..I have tried with 2 browsers firefox & ephiphany (Even google takes a lot time to open)..In xp the same sites take much less time ..

Try disabling ipv6: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv … the_Module

or enabling openDNS.

Is this problem from a livecd too, or just from installed arch ?

Check your DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf
If you have more than one server listed, and one of them isn't responding then that could be causing delays for you, although that wouldn't affect the actual download speed, just the time it takes to resolve (which would directly impact your perceived browsing speed)
#!/bin/bash
for SERVER in $(grep '^nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{ print $2 }') ; do
dig google.com.au @$SERVER
if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "ERROR WITH SERVER $SERVER"
fi
done
EDIT: You'll need to install the 'dnsutils' package before running the above script
