You should use inSSIDer to look at the channels other people are using to broadcast their networks and select the least congested range. I assume you're using a Wireless N adapter.

Interference from other people's networks and other 2.4GHz wireless devices saturates the frequencies which means that you get a lower throughput as a result, also, wireless is inefficient in itself, as the rated speeds are only achieved in labs where there are no environmental issues interfering, and then there's the overheads which take up the available bandwidth.

45MB is about what i'd expect to get from Wireless N in realistic usable bandwidth.
