Ubuntu – Very slow wifi after upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10

13.10intel-wirelesswireless

I upgraded yesterday from ubuntu 13.04 to ubuntu 13.10 and now my wifi connection is incredibly slow.
ping google.com
takes upto 270 ms with 46% packet loss

edit: It appears that this issue is intermittent. However my other laptop on the same network was working at normal speed throughout which should rule out my connection.
