Slow internet (sympatico)

Hi all, I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my internet issues. I will try and explain best I can what is happening and what very temporarily fixes it.
With two different routers, I am experiencing very slow internet speeds. When using ethernet cable, I get the 6mbs download speeds, as soon as I go wireless, it drops to around 300 bps or stops altogether.

When I run the MBP diagnostic assistant, I can see that the ISP and Server are showing as yellow, then then change to green, this happens everytime I have this problem. I never have to do anything other than bring up the diagnostic screen.

Needless to say this is very frustrating. FWIW , there is a PS3 connected wirelessly to the home network. But this has just been a recent problem.

Hoping for some kind of direction, thanks in advance

Reset modems and routers to factory default settings and set the network back up from scratch would be a good start. Did you just recently upgrade to Snow Leopard by any chance?
