Hello.
Today i've done some more accurate tests.

I've downloaded the ISO from UBUNTU.COM. Same ISO, same version (amd64), same WiFi network with same connected devices, i've tired to download it twice from each kernel, almost 5 mins in download before record the speed.

---------
Windows 8.1:
starts at 1Mb/s and then it goes stable to 800-850 kb/s
---------
Ubuntu 15.04 with Kernel 4.0 RC3:
starts at 90 kb/s and then goes up to 190 (stable). Some times it speed up to 400 kb/s but it's not stable, e.g. It downloads at 400 kb/s, then stops for 2-3 seconds and downloads again. I think that the medium speed is always about 190 kb/s...
---------
Ubuntu 15.04 with Kernel 3.19
It often doesn't connects to the wifi. When it connects the speed is stable to 100 kb/s
---------
Ubuntu 15.04 with kernel 3.16
It seems to connect every time, and it's a little faster than 3.19. It goes stable at 110-120 kb/s
---------
Ubuntu 14.10 (LiveDVD) with kernel 3.16
Works live in 15.04 with kernel 3.16
-------------

So the Kernel 4 seems a little better than the others. 3.19 on Ubuntu 15.04 is the worst because it has connection problems and slow speed
