UPDATE - CONTAINS FIX! I tested out the PPA and though performing a software updater cache reset and update check, I still had to manually install the .DEB file as the Software Updater told me that there were no updates available. After a quick install and reboot of the computer, my average internet speeds multiplied by 18.107 times!

Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet: Unknown Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My wireless internet connection, no matter what dongle I use as an interface, is always slower and I have more DNS issues "unable to find website" than what I ever get on even the Windows 10 Developer Beta running on my same machine within a different hard disk. Using Ubuntu, my internet connection will often slow to a screeching halt, videos fail to stream properly from popular sites a'la Youtube or such, I get DNS issues reported by Chrome and Firefox in which my current connection cannot "find" a website although connected, and last but not least, my connection will cut in and out intermittently though I have set the MAC address of my router as the BSSID. Windows 10 does not give me these issues, and has been more stable connectivity-wise from day one of the first public beta of Windows 10. Something is terribly wrong, and I do not know what. I have tried what seems like everything to fix the problem, and I still have the same issues. If Ubuntu cannot support common wireless devices and drivers, why would the general public want to prefer Ubuntu over something more stable?
