Hi everyone
I've had some weird internet since upgrading.
first of all my wifi USB dongle stopped working so i thought it was broken, i replaced it and was getting speeds of under 1 mbps.
Since then I have had very poor download speeds, and surfing has been a bit hit and miss with some sites loading instantly, and others crawling. everything was fine using the same hardware on 16.04
what can i do to speed things up?
thanks

I just fixed this on ubuntu 18.04 - turns out there is some kind of issue with 802.11n and iwlwifi Intel chips. The solution is to turn it off.
Check if it works first with:
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
Make it permanent with this command:
echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
I did this and my wifi speeds instantly went back to normal.

This disables support for n-band wireless connections, correct? That should be noted in this answer if so. wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi
