Bowlinggreen is very much on the right track there, though I would say "invest in a really good wireless router" and you can get decent wireless speeds, though if you have a very fast fiber link, he's right, even the best router might not keep up, especially if there are other loads.
Pretty much everything in my apartment was having trouble-- downloads weren't great, the internet connected TV lagged, was painful to try to get it to get stuff from Netflix. Switched from years old combo cable modem/wireless router to a dedicated Nighthawk router, and everything performed, much, much better.
A high quality wireless router is the best bang for buck improvement in system performance I've ever made . . .
