supposedly the airport reception on powerbooks is not as good compared to a PC laptop in the same spot. I guess that could be slowing down your speed.

I have a macbook pro 15.4"

I had this same problem using my MacBook pro on my home wireless network. Painfully slow Web browsing.

My network admin at work had configured my TCP/IP settings (Internet Config) with a DHCP client ID, DNS Servers, and Search Domain (marked "optional" in the config panel). When I removed this information, my wireless browsing speed shot back up to normal levels.

Hope this helps.
