try restarting it.. from time to time youtube vids will be choppy on my 11" air and i restart and all is good... which is one reason I am returning it as soon as I get my new macbook pro on monday lol... if this doesnt work, go to the apple store, when they see it is slow on their network they will give you a new one, no questions asked.

Try this:

delete wifi network
turn off airport
turn off your router
turn off cable modem/dsl/whatever

turn on cable modem/dsl/dial up whatever wait for complete boot
turn on router wait for green light
turn on airport
rejoin network

go to speedtest.net to verify speeds.
 
really just restarting your wireless router is the only thing mentioned that is necessary... not deleting your wifi network and blah blah bLAH
