I have the same problem with 2 desktops and a laptop. I've tried the laptop wirelessly on 3 different networks and the severe slowdown continues. The workaround below fixes the slowdown by disabling IPv6 on bootup (it's worked on all 3 computers):
start a Terminal session and type:
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub ....then change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash"
then
sudo update-grub
Reboot and network speed should be back to normal.
I hope that a fix for this disconcerting bug is provided ASAP. Thanks.
