I'm assuming your desktop is the device getting the slow speeds? Is it wired or wireless? What are you using to measure speed?

Wireless can vary a lot for a slew of reasons. One that comes to mind is what wireless card are you using? Tablet and phones tend to support the newest protocols. Also, try your tablet or phone's speedtest from the same location where your computer's wireless card would be. A simple check to see if there is a deadzone.

So it could be a deadzone? I thought that in deadzones you couldn't even connect to the internet in a deadzone

Connect your pc to your router or switch with ethernet cable and run speed test.
If your speed is what is suposed to be then you need to get a better wifi dongle,connect via ethernet cable or get an access point.
But if your speed is till low there might be some issues on your pc...
