Connection Issue: Speedtest

[Kraven]

Here's a dandy of a problem:

Laptop: HP 4GB/Dual Core w/ dual boot Ubuntu and Win7

Win7 Speedtest: 21MB down
Ubuntu Speedtest: 6MB down

GF's W7 laptop: 20Mb down

SONY PS3 and Sony Bravia both lag and PS3 sometimes can't connect to PSN.



Anyone speculate why the difference in speed?

Cheers, K

Ethernet or wireless?

Sorry... laptops are wireless, TV and PS3 are wired. I have both laptops on W7 side by side and speedtest is normal (20mb). I reboot mine to Ubuntu and perform another speedtest on both (20mb/7mb).

Just read Ubuntu has some issues with various cards.. going to confirm tonight. However it doesnt explain why I can barely stream Old MacDonald on the Bravia nor connect to PSN.

Cheers, K

My guess is the specific Ubuntu driver for that card.

Tonight am installing MINT. End of issue.
