When im at my girlfriends house for some reason using my laptop the internet gets very slow for no reason and gaming I get lag, one minute I wont be lagging and webpages will be loading very fast and a few seconds later I get really bad lag and also webpages are extremely slow to load. My girlfriends laptop and all other PC's in the house don't have these problems just mine. Also at my own house my laptop works with internet no problems at all. :'(

also ive plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop and it works fine, so its definatly a wireless fault. Just did a speed test, im getting 0.203 MBPS where as my girlfriend is getting 9MMBPS so definatly something isnt right.

Well, it would be helpful to know what laptop you have, and any other specs you have on it, Otherwise, it is kinda hard to know what hardware could be messing up.

First thing that came to my mind is that maybe she has both a public connection, and a private/hidden connection. Generally, people don't allow the public connections as much bandwidth; and maybe you were connected to the slower public connection.
