I just found something similar using my Airport Express.

Using a citywide WiFi, the DL speed dropped to 2 or 3 KB per second.
After power cycling, the speed came up to 80 to 90 KB per second.

I did this after waiting no more than about 10 seconds with power off -
a short enough time that I did not even have to re-login to that WiFi
spot.
