Do you have port forwarding set up for either the HH or the Netgear?? What model is the Netgear (have a look underneath)?

2) Check to see if you have active downloads or active torrents that are seeding. Residential uplinks often struggle with seeding torrents, and you will have significant issues with your Internet if you are actively seeding torrents you have downloaded. ..
Do you run in wireless mode?

If you are running two routers, could be a conflict with two NAT devices in a row. NAT has a firewalling 'effect', though is not like a normal software firewall. NAT blocks out incoming ports except those normally used for browsing such as port 80.
