acoustix said:I just want to know how fast WiFi is in comparison to a standard household ethernet connection. Would it be better or worse for online play than what most people use for Live right now?
acoustix said:Ah, ok. I was mainly curious about how they would compare lag-wise but I guess it depends.

802.11b = 11Mbs
Really, Really Fast Home internet connection = 3Mbs (Fastest marketed Cable is ~6Mbs, I believe)
These will get faster over the next few years, so I'm glad these guys are going with 802.11g.
Every major cable ISP offers 10Mbits. Even that is not the fastest personal cable line.sonycowboy said:(Fastest marketed Cable is ~6Mbs, I believe)

802.11b: 11Mbps
802.11g: 54Mbps
10/100 Ethernet: 100Mbps
