Downloading on the PowerBook has been pretty quick but when I went into the o2 admin page it shows the speed at 11Mbps. Then when I turn AirPort off on the PowerBook it jumps up to 54Mbps. I'll jump on iChat sometime tomorrow so we can see what's what, if you're around. Ta muchly. I’ve got an o2 wireless box (it’s a Thompson 780 router).

If it's b, you'll want to use it on a separate bridged network otherwise it'll bring the rest of your network down to pretty much b speeds. Either that or turn the airport off and use ethernet. *takes off networking degree hat* Is it 802.11g or b networking?

I love the easy access now to get to my favourite sites :) I caved in and bought the software for the iTouch, haha!
