Friend's laptop is fast, wired desktop is slow

Any ideas?
A friend has an orange live box, His PC Is wired in and runs at dial up, while his wireless lappy flies along super fast. How can that be?

Your friend on PN or Orange?
Tried the MTU / RWIN tweaks?

I assume that the PC doesn't have a modem connection and is dialling out instead of going through the router
