Slow Wi-Fi connection since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to 5

Can anyone help with this?  I have MI424WR wireless modem from Verizon and since I upgraded my iPhone from a 4 to a 5 I have a hard time streaming videos.  In fact, if I turn my wireless "off" on my phone, the LTE is faster than my home wi-fi.  This of course burns up my limited monthly data.  It seems to me that there's no way my LTE should be faster than my home wi-fi.  Anybody else have this problem or can you recommend a solution?

LTE in many cases is going to be faster than the home Wi-Fi, if you're on DSL when it comes down to capacity. If you're on FiOS, your iPhone should be able to hit at least 20Mbps down, and some 6Mbps up.
