Slow connection with Broadcom BCM43142 on Ubuntu 16.04
I have recently switched to Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm having problems with my wireless connection. I'm using a Broadcom BCM43142 wireless card and using the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver.
The wireless connection always shows at low signal. Sometimes it works at adequate speed, but most of the time the connection is slow (much slower than on Windows in which I have a dual boot partition).
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver. I have also already tried disabling IPv6 and also tried to avahi daemon fix to no avail.
I've run the following wireless script and this is the output
http://pastebin.com/BU5ZZJcY

In Debian 9 I used:
sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms
and it did the whole trick for my hp ProBook6570b laptop. I was getting a near 20Mbits/s before. I ran the command and rebooted the laptop for a clean start. After this all of a sudden I saw a 180Mbits/s
I am happy!

I also experienced the same problem for years in my hp laptop.The problem was not with the software but the hardware.
My laptops wlan card was having only one black colored antenna usually other laptops has 2 antenna wires.My laptop was having a different form factored(smaller) wlan card.
so what i did was simply disconnect the antenna from one slot of the card and placed in the antenna slot(has one wire but 2 slots on the card).
please remove your laptops case and check if yours is also the same case.
