Re: Speed vs. useful speed

said by dancy70:

I know, I know ... this story is about AT&T, but ... Verizon just raised my FIOS speed to 20/5 because of a phone plan change. The speed is nice, but, alas, most of the laptops connected to my 6-computer (+guests) network have older 802.11b cards, so I am maxed out at somewhat under 11 Mps wireless, while getting 19 Mps+ wired. At the old 5/2, I never noticed The point: sometimes raw speed is not the whole story and, for some, the increase in speed may actually turn out to be somewhat of a dissatisfier.
Upgrade your lame cards and take advantage of all that speed that they are offering. I work from home and upload at a lousy 384kbps is pain in the ass. I would love 20/5, it would awesome.

I once again wonder what is wrong with American Broadband that we have such unequal access to good service in the birthplace of the internet?
