I am using Comcast cable (not ADSL) 8M down, 1.5M up, and an old SMC 11b wireless router. Every other computer works fine. My "Ubuntu" laptop works find when running in Vista (so sad...), but when running Gutsy... OMG! (not to be overly dramatic or anything) it is soooo slooooowwww!!! It took me 20 minutes just to be able to post this comment. I haven't tried a wired connection, just wireless. The best rate I've seen is about 70Kbps moving a file from one computer to another on my private LAN - not even internet. In desperation, I will try some of the previous suggestions (disable IPv6, etc.) but there is something seriously bad going on here.
BTW - OpenDNS - what's that? I wonder if I can make that fix on my router, too... (SMC Barricade)?
Thanks to everyone working so hard at fixing this. I'll buy a beer (maybe even two!) for the first person with a real fix. :-)
