Hello Aera,

Without debating and go any further/deeper, I was just trying to say, my
main Laptop with or without Linux, is showing the same download rate and
upload rate with very slight difference :)

Windows 7 is showing the real speed that it should be.
Linux, no matter what version of Lubuntu, is NOT.
When I connect my 802.11n USB WiFi Adapter, to my test laptop, the one with
the problem in speed, the speed is normal too.

The weird part, as I explained, the upload is triple the download speed on
my test laptop using the built in WiFi Adapter:

 *-network

i686 GNU/Linux

Something is seriously wrong.

I didn't have the time actually to check the other systems on my test
laptop (Crunchbang and Xubuntu). I believe that won't make any difference
but I will check it anyway.

I can tell I'm the only one with this issue. I can tell no one faced the
same issue :D

But I will not give up, I will keep looking for a solution. I have:

Lubuntu 10.04
Lubuntu 12.04
Lubuntu 12.10
Lubuntu 13.04
Xubuntu 13.04
Crunchbang

So, will check each and everyone.

Thanks!
