If you could re-read the OP; that'd be great. The tests were done side by side on 3 different connections.

doing a line speed test on all my pcs in the house (6) and my macbook comes back with my macbook being the quickest. Loading times are also quicker for pages.
Youve probably got some widget running in background on yer mac thats taking bandwidth up. That or the channel the airport is sending / recieving is on same as a local neighbour etc where as the pcs arent.
Either that its all the pr0n on yer mac thats slowing it down

I'd suspected teh pr0n, but it struck me as odd that a fresh install would come with my pr0n pre-installed. I'll check on the Airport thing, but the problem also happens with wired Ethernet.
I don't use any widgets except for a family guy quote thing :]

Interesting - I just came from Linux and XP and I find Mac to be faster. I am not running a MacBook but a Quicksilver.
