Just switched from WinXP to Ubuntu 13.10 and have extremely low net speed compared to what I had, (600kbs) to now (50kbs). I installed all the updates. No idea what to do.

It's not software related (I'm right now downloading with over 800KB/s). Something is wrong with your hardware or your speed testing method.– GabrielFJan 5, 2014 at 21:30

..like GabrielF writes, if you experience the downloads being slower, you might want to troubleshoot your network hardware; or you might just have been confused with the speed units (KBytes/s and Kbits/s: 1KBps = 8Kbps; note the case of "B") presented to you by the n/w speed test utility.– rustyJan 6, 2014 at 5:10

Run ifconfig
.
There should be two different txqueuelen values, 1 paragraph then another paragraph
sudo ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 10000&&sudo ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 10000
your eth0 and eth1 may be different than those listed
Increasing The txqueuelen
Increase the txqueuelength parameter to a value between 1000 and 20000 per interface:
ifconfig ${interface} txqueuelen ${size}
ifconfig eth1 txqueuelen 10000
ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 5000
