Hi Simon, Just read you blog and noticed that your Pismo is 400mhz. Mine was 500mhz - only a 50mhz upgrade for me. Might there not be a difference. When I signed up to broadband, the minium computer figuration was 500/550mhz.
My experience of broadband prior to getting my Pismo was on my ibook clamshell 300mhz. It was painful, for a while... and video was a complete no... no. I saw a big improvement with the Pismo. And it didn't cost me as much as a new Macbook pro. And I always lusted after one when they were new, but took the clamshell. Though a Macbook pro shouldn't be long in the coming...! As lovely as the Pismo is, something bang-up to date would just make life that 'little' bit smoother and even more of a pleasure.
