Similar internet speed-test numbers but noticeably slower browsing compared to laptop



My WIFI internet speed test results:

Laptop (i5 4GB ram running Win7, Chrome ) - 1.08 mbps download
ZF2 (2.3GHz and 4GB ram, Chrome ) -1.3 mbps download

Even though the speedtest numbers are similar, my laptop is markedly faster in loading websites and streaming videos, especially when using multiple tabs. Actually i find streaming html5 videos relatively slow on my phone especially the initial buffer period.

For example, my laptop will start playing a video as soon as i click on it, while a similar video will take at least 40 seconds to start playing on my phone. Worst still, if i seek a different time stamp, it will buffer again wasting my time and annoy the heck out of me.:mad::mad::mad: Streaming HD videos, naturally is out of the question.

Is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone? I just upgraded from a galaxy s2 btw and so far, i find the upgrade rather unremarkable tbh.
