Bizarre network issue

I have a strange issue with my MBP.

My WiFi connection to my Virgin Superhub is awful - trying to browse the web whilst connected to either 5G or 2G results in slow page loads, drop outs or hanging. My first thought was that we need a replacement router.

The strange part is that no other device in our house suffers the same issue, iPhone, iPads and Windows machines are all fine...

This makes me think that it's my MBP, but if I connect to another network, or tether to my phone, then the connection is perfect. It's also fine when the connection isn't being used for web browsing (e.g. downloading things is fine)

Out of desperation I've actually wiped my MBP and reinstalled OS X, but it's still the same!

Any ideas?

How about if you try it through ethernet?

Have you fully reset your router? Bit of a pain to then connect all the other devices but just trying to rule things out.

Haven't tried Ethernet although I can.

Not sure what resetting my router would do (in terms of lost settings, I'm assuming that it will just return to the state when I got it, not lose any of the Virgin details?)
