Have your internet porn habits been impacted since you updated your Macbook or Macbook Pro to 10.5.8?

ME TOO AND IT WAS DRIVING ME UP THE FUCKING WALL! ;)

After I updated my 15-inch Macbook Pro to 10.5.8 I noticed right away that my wireless performance was in the crapper. Ping times to Google jumped up to an AVERAGE of 300ms, sometimes as high at 1,500ms! Any other wireless device in the house? 40-50ms! So it was obvious, after pulling my hair out thinking it was an issue with my Airport Extreme base stations or Verizon FIOS.

Luckily my friend Joe (who has been suffering the same issue), pointed me towards a link on Apple Support that not only admits that the 10.5.8 update breaks “some” Intel based laptops, but they also released a fix! What was their fix?

It basically rolls back your wireless drivers to 10.5.7! ;)

I hope this helps out anyone else who thought they were losing their mind! :)

Cheers!
