This has dogged my MBA since Mountain Lion (or was it Mavericks?) where my internet via bluetooth is crippled when using my apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. With bluetooth on I get about 10Mpbs, with bluetooth off I get 60 or 70!

Anyone tested this on their new TB MBPs? Can you do a www.speedtest.net with bluetooth on/off please?

Sounds like the 2.4GHz space is pretty jammed. Can you change your wifi to 5Ghz?

Just an update to say I rang my ISP and they sent me a new 5ghz router and the problem is gone :D (at least on my mba - mbp not here till next month)

Not sure why I didn't upgrade my router earlier now o_O

Thanks for your help :)
