Ever since I put on CM10 my wifi and data is slower like 1mb/s. Any ideas?

Well I have been having some major wifi issues as off late. I have wiped and reinstalled various roms and nothing has seemed to fix. Right now I am running cm nightlies.
My wifi is EXTREMELY slow. At my house I get 12M/1M on my computer (which is wireless) and on my phone I can get anywhere from 500-2500kb down and from 0-750 up. When doing speedtests it freezes on both the upload and download and sometimes will not finish upload test and give me latency of 999.
I have used my wifi in various locations (home, work, hospital) with the same result: my 3g speeds are way better than my wifi.
What are some things that I can do to attempt to resolve this? If it matters my kernel is: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmod.
I've been tethering my Evo 4G for about a year now and all of a sudden, a few days ago, I noticed my WiFi tether speeds dramatically decreased, especially when 4G is turned on. When I run speedtests directly on my Evo 4G I would get an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload. When I run speedtest.net on my laptop that is WiFi tethered I would get an error "Configuration Load Failed" and my browsing is extremely slow. I tried my desktop computer and got the same error message and dialup like browsing speeds. I tried tethering my iPad and another Evo 4G and the speedtest app resulted in ridiculously low speeds like 0.04Mbps download but a normal 1.4 Mbps upload speed.
I've been tethering my Evo 4G with 3 devices on a daily basis and used to get an average of 3 Mbps download and 1.4 Mbps upload speeds at my office. Is it possible that the built-in WiFi router is defective now?
A couple of other unusual changes that I noticed within the past few days:
- My 4G speed on the phone itself is faster now at my office. I used to average 2-3Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload at work every day. Now I've been clocking at an average of 6 Mbps download and 1.45 upload. Maybe Sprint improved service in my area?
- I checked my latest Sprint bill and noticed I used an unusual and huge amount of 4G data last month. I used to average 2-3GB of data per month but this September I used 12.2GB. I was shocked when I saw that. I don't think I'm being throttled because my phone is still running fast on 4G.
- My billing cycle starts every 3rd of the month (about the same time the slow WiFi tether problem started)
- I started getting "Low Internal Storage Space" messages
I've been searching other threads with Slow WiFi Tethering problems and so far I've done the following in attempt to troubleshoot and still got the same slow speeds:
- Wiped Cache Partition and Wiped Dalvic Cache using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5. I read somewhere in the forums that this may increase 4G speeds. This did free up some memory and cleared up my "Low Internal Storage Space" message.
- Moved the 'fixroute.sh' file to another location (as instructed from another thread)
- Uninstalled and reinstalled WiFi Tether 2.0.5 (been using that since last year), WiFi Tether 2.0.7. (Same results), and WiFi Tether 3.1. Beta 6 (Does not work)
- Tried 4G at home and friend's house about 5 miles away and got the same sluggish results.
I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem where their WiFi tethering just stopped working as fast as it used to and what did they do to fix it? Is this a hardware problem?
By the way, I'm on a rooted stock 2.2 ROM, Pri 1.40_003
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Update:
My phone is still suffering from slow 3G/4G wireless tether today in Brooklyn, NY with 0.08 Mbs down / 1.76 Mbs up.
This past Saturday I did notice that while I was in South Amboy, NJ, I was able to wireless tether 4G signal at about 2.16 Mbps down / 0.73 Mbps up. Speedtests were about the same on the phone itself and on my laptop. Why was I able to tether faster there made me even more puzzled and ruled out that my phone's built in wifi router is defective.
I'm hoping I can get this fixed soon. I have no clue what else I can do to get my wireless tethering back up to speed...
Update:
2 days ago I followed instructions on how to fix download speeds by editing the phone's HTTP PD Proxy Port & HTTP PD Proxy Address.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922978
After applying the changes I instantly got my WiFi tether speeds back! I ran speed tests on my ipad and was able to get as high as 5 Mbps down and 1.4 Mbps up. I waited until the next morning to try it at work (where I mainly tether) and to my disappointment my speeds were back to slow 0.1 Mbps down and normal 1.5 Mbps up. I checked my proxy settings to see if they reverted back but nothing changed. I then went back home and found that my tether speeds were slow there as well. This was really bothersome! I then decided to give up for now and just tether on 3G for now.
This morning I stumbled across another thread on filterproxy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966418
I followed the instructions and was successful in tethering at 4G speeds! Whew! My speedtest's results:
Ping 353 (This increased dramatically. I normally get 75)
Download Speed 5.14 Mbps
Upload Speed 1.33 Mbps
I'll keep running speedtests though out the day and see anything changes. Hopefully this filterproxy solution will hold up. It's an extra step to configure my browsers to use the proxy whenever I tether but I won't complain because I got my 4G speeds back (For now).
My question for now is... How come I was able to run wifi tether without all these problems for over a year and then all of a sudden run into these problems?
I hope this helps anyone else who has slow tethering over 4G problems.
Using HTC desire with MIUI XJ GB. Since last ten days, the 3g signal keeps changing. Sometimes internet doesn't work even with signal.
However, when I download something with ttorrent in the background, connection is stable. I am now always downloading something at low speed to browse without interruption. Battery life has gone for a toss.
Does anyone know the problem. It can't be network problem since ttorrent is downloading smoothly.
I have tried other ROMS like supernova and cyanogen but no change. Reentered apn settings.

I've yet to see anything on my N2 register more than 10mbps down or 4mbps up when using wifi as the data path. It doesn't matter if the speed test is using an internet-based speed testing server, or if I transfer a file to one of my wired LAN PC's.
Oddly enough, I sometimes get faster speeds with HSPA (25+ mbps). It doesn't matter what router I connect to (I have several AP's on my network) - whether at home, neighbors, work, or family. Both my N2 and my wife's show the same type of speed limit.
Not only is it slow, but it's very erratic. I've tried all the standard suggestions (turning of power save mode, always on during sleep, etc), but none of these matter. Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz have the same speed caps.
With all that being said, I'm curious:
What are your maximum DOWNLOAD speeds you've experienced using a WIFI connection?
I consistently get 20mbps+. On 5Ghz, Brighthouse networks, Orlando area, with Roadrunner lightning service.
I get the same as on my home wired computer... 30MB

Sure does make me wonder what's so special about my two N2's. Im running a stock deoxed, rooted rom. In fact, it's this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091214
I wish I could say with confidence that the original unrooted rom was just as slow, but I didn't have it on my phone long enough to even test it...
What rom are you guys running?
I have gotten as high as 27-30 mbps down and 10.5 up. The down was on my home wifi. The up was in the wifi at work.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I'm on stock everything. Only thing I've done is rooted and added the xposed framework to add apps to the multi Window.
I have comcast 50Mb down and 10Mb up I can ever exceed 20Mb down but somehow my upload goes over my 10Mb up
Guys, I got the nexus 7 lte and with my 3g sim card, it has problem switching even with full reception. At h, its not responsive and takes very long to change h+. When it changes to h+ it loads for a few seconds and goes back to h where the connection will just idle
But when I put in my 4g sim card, iit's fast and responsive.. Instead loading for all and no such idling..
No problems with wifi.
Anyone having problems with hsdpa? Running 36r version and changed to custom rom and i changed to a new 3g sim card burProblems still persist.
Anyone?
Tired the same sim on nexus 7 2012, seems okay.
No one else facing problems with 3g network?
