said by deadzoned:I think wireless has it's place, I agree with that. It's certainly nice to have from a convenience perspective. But it all goes downhill when you try to do anything other than surfing, e-mail, and basic downloading.
I have a Wireless G setup in my house. I use my laptop for the wireless connection and use it for some streaming media stuff. It works okay but i'm always fighting with other networks, losing signals, rebooting the router, etc....
When I am docked and plugged in with my trusty ethernet cable to the same router obviously, I have no problems at all and my speeds are much faster, not to mention I can stream movies again with no hiccups.
Wireless is great and has it's place, it's just not reliable enough to be a major broadband service in my opinion.
Again, you're looking at wireless from the perspective of 802.11. 802.11 is merely one type of wireless technology. It's on an unlicensed frequency band so of course it's like the wild west. Of course you can't build a major broadband service on technology you get at Best Buy or Circuit City.
