I just finished up my Boot Camp installation:

Funny thing, on initial install, Boot Camp set up blue screened and I didn't finish the installation. I had a half complete install but the drivers went fine (I guess Windows automatically selected drivers?) so I just went with it.

Today I decided to install Boot Camp Setup so I could switch default OS to OSX because I hate pressing the power button, using the restroom and coming back to WinDuhs. Install went okay the second go-around but now my WiFi sucks REAL bad.

Before install: 10-20 Mbps in Windows 7, comparable speeds to OSX. Fast.

After Boot Camp install: 1-2 Mbps with very rare speed spikes that quickly fall off.

Attempted solutions:
Uninstall WiFi driver to get Windows to select default. It just installs the same Broadcom driver.

Disabled Bluetooth (which is stupid, I bought this machine to use all its features. I use Bluetooth for file transfers and stuff).

Neither worked.

Anyone else come across this issue and resolve it? I'm trying to download a newer Broadcom driver but because of my slow speed, it's going to take 3 days to download it. (I'm not kidding)
