Title:
  WiFi is slower on Ubuntu than Windows.

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
  Unknown
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My wireless internet connection, no matter what dongle I use as an
  interface, is always slower and I have more DNS issues "unable to find
  website" than what I ever get on even the Windows 10 Developer Beta
  running on my same machine within a different hard disk.

  Using Ubuntu, my internet connection will often slow to a screeching
  halt, videos fail to stream properly from popular sites a'la Youtube
  or such, I get DNS issues reported by Chrome and Firefox in which my
  current connection cannot "find" a website although connected, and
  last but not least, my connection will cut in and out intermittently
  though I have set the MAC address of my router as the BSSID. Windows
  10 does not give me these issues, and has been more stable
  connectivity-wise from day one of the first public beta of Windows 10.

  Something is terribly wrong, and I do not know what. I have tried what
  seems like everything to fix the problem, and I still have the same
  issues. If Ubuntu cannot support common wireless devices and drivers,
  why would the general public want to prefer Ubuntu over something more
  stable?
