Wireless internet problems in just one room of the house

I've recently upgraded to 30Mb broadband from Virgin, and been lumbered with a Super Hub as a result. After some initial problems, everything seems to be sorted. Well, nearly everything. There are three computers in the house. One uses a wired connection, and the internet is fine. The other two are laptops connecting wirelessly. One has absolutely no problems. The other (mine) has no problems either, except in one room in the house, my bedroom. Everywhere else it's getting a good speed, but here I'm getting about 3 or 4Mb.

I'm getting a full wireless signal here, just not full speed.

Could anyone please shed some light on why this is happening and what I can do to put it right?

Thanks.

distance between your room and the hub,building structure this can be some of the effects.

Do you have any electronic devices in your bedroom, such as a DECT phone? I've heard they can cause interference.
