Hello all. So I've been on 12.04 long enough to know that something is no bueno. My wireless speed has been cut in half in the past month. I've tried everything to get it back to normal from unixmen solutions to trolling various threads. Nothing seems to work. I'm perpetually stuck at less than 8 mbps. I've even had the cable company out here twice to check my connection, and well they're not happy with me. Also wife's PC is windows, and she is right now at 20+ mbps. Please help..........
