Recently, I was having some terrible download and upload speeds. AT&T came out and gave me a new router and every device in my house from phones, tablets, and my Windows based PC's are now getting close to the 12 Mbps Download Speed and 1.5 Mbps Upload Speed via our Uverse. Undoubtedly, I have tried everything up until this point to figure out why I am getting such slow speeds on my Ubuntu machine.
Here is some helpful information.

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Downloading things, especially through the software center, takes a very long time. Apt-get seems to work alright, but still should be substantially faster than what I am getting. Lastly, here are the system specs:
Code:
name@box:~$ uname -a
Linux box 3.5.0-34-generic #55~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 7 16:25:50 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
