Comparing your Internet speeds is not the same thing. Try transferring a large file via scp or ftp or sftp and comparing that with the samba connection. (WinSCP is freely available for your Windows laptop). I would bet that the speeds are the same samba & scp and that samba is not at all the issue but this is the surest way to know.
