I have a 1721 with an ethernet WIC cloned to a dialer interface. The WIC goes out to a DSL modem. My issue is that ever since I deployed this router, the speed has been diminished enough to make people complain. Its a 3mb circuit, but this is what I show when I pull up the dialer interface:
Dialer0 is up, line protocol is up (spoofing)
Hardware is Unknown
Internet address is <MASKED>
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 3000 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,

Keepalive set (10 sec)
DTR is pulsed for 1 seconds on reset
Interface is bound to Vi1

As you can see, the virtual-Access1 interface is showing bandwidth of 56Kbit, whisch looks like ths slowness issue. What do I need to change on my config to get this speed to where it is supposed to be? Here is my currect interfaces config:
interface Loopback0

no ip address
ip virtual-reassembly
half-duplex

Thanks for any help!

Your config looks fairly OK to me. The bandwidth setting on the virtual interface is merely administrative and I do not think it affects the performance in any way.
I think it can be changed by modifying the bandwidth setting on interface Virtual-Template1.
For the poor performance, I think you should rather check the overbooking rate on the link and/or contact your provider.

Is there any chance the IOS type could be doing this? I am currently using c1700-advsecurityk9-mz.124-1c.bin

With such a low release number, there is always a chance for that. However, with an old platform like the 1700, I would not try an upgrade. Reason for this: newer releases also draw heavier on the system resources.
Try downgrading to a stable image in the 12.3 train instead.

I sent them a 1700 with a DSL WIC to see if that helps. It has a 12.4 release, but I can always downgrade it remotely if need be. I do NOT like up/downgrading IOS images remotely because of the problems that may arise, but it is what it is.
Can someone have a look at this config to see if it looks ok? Thanks!
