I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my existing windows 7 hard drive. I am experiencing very slow internet speed on Ubuntu(wired connection). But on Windows,internet is really fast. I disabled ipv6

No benefit.

If you are having slow internet speeds when downloading packages you can do this:

1)Open the software center

2)Go to Edit>Software Sources

3)Under "Ubuntu Software", click the dropdown list labeled "Download from".

4)Click "Other".

5)Now click "Select Best Server".

It will run tests and come up with the server that is right for your location. If it is an issue with slow browsing speeds not related to the Ubuntu servers make sure your browser is up to date.
