Tested a couple of times with both "3.14.0-031400rc6-generic" and
"3.14.0-031400rc6-lowlatency". Nothing improved. The download speed
stays at 0.05 Mbps - 0.36 Mbps range while the upload speed remains
consistently at 1.58 Mbps.

Title:
  Slow wifi connection with Cicso EPC3928 modem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I experience very slow download speed when connecting to a Cicso
  EPC3928 cable modem. The speedtest.net reports about 0.2Mbps download
  speed and 1.1Mbps upload speed (obvious discrepancy). If I connect to
  the modem via network cable, the speed gets to 30Mbps/1.1Mbps (that's
  the expected speed for my line). If I connect a different device over
  wifi I get 5Mbps/1.1Mbsp (acceptable for a wifi connection). My
  conclusion therefore is that the problem lies in the wifi connection
  between my computer and the cable modem and is not due to any other
  devices in the network.

  The wifi connection was working well in the past with other routers.
  As there were no problems I never measured the speed. Currently I
  don't have access to any other wifi router/modem that I could connect
  to and measure the speed.

  After extensive Googling, the only widely mentioned possible cause
  that I found was 802.11n protocol so I tried to disable it with
  "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1". However, this had no effect
  whatsoever.

  The cable modem has been provided by the ISP and I currently cannot
  access its config to gather more info or test different settings in
  order to pinpoint possible causes for this problem.
