You're joking, right?
802.11b is 11Mb/s. It's shared across all devices on a single WAP, but
still for most people you'll get that kinds of speed most of the time,
unless you're stepped down because of signal issues (which will step
down 802.11g just as much)
The VAST MAJORITY of broadband access in this country is about 7 MB/s.
In most of the country Broadband tops out at 12 mbps.
So no. Airport B is NOT "real slow", it's faster than the vast
majority of American's internet connections.
