Why has my internet speed dropped down?

Question

I recently switched to Ubuntu. I've been having a lot of internet troubles ever since. I used Windows 7 before.

I've had trouble loading web pages, and it would take a solid minute or two to even start displaying anything.

Why is this?

How can I fix this?

Details:

Ubuntu 14.04

Here's a comparison: Speedtest on my phone:

Add details on (ADSL) modem OR WiFi being used, and Ubuntu version. This is likely a driver issue, or upstream (your ISP). — david6, Jun 10 '14 at 00:20

Thank you, using my phone to tether boosted the speed right up. Is there any permanent fix, though? – hexagonest Jun 10 '14 at 11:13
