There should be no difference between these two as far as the Internet
connection is concerned unless there is some problem on your local
network, or there is some configuration difference between the
computers on the different links.
What is your topology?

Internet:
100 packets transmitted, 69 received, 31% loss, time 99143ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 75.164/111.823/411.404/44.874 ms
Wireless link:
20 packets transmitted, 20 received, 0% loss, time 19044ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.470/3.737/4.021/0.188 ms
What are these counters looking at?
Are these pings? to where? Are you pinging your local ISP's gateway to
your DSL connection? or something up-stream from that?
I also forgot to ask earlier -- is this a new connection? If it is,
the problem is most likely with the ATM cloud behind the DSLAM which
connects you to your ISP. My experience has been that it takes "a
while" (more than one iteration) to get that circuit provisioned
correctly... especially if the changes don't get backed up and they
have to reload the CO switch with yesterday's parameters.
