So are you saying that a 100Mbps  broadband connection would run just as fast on a 54Mbps wireless g connection as on a 100Mbps wired ethernet NIC?

EDIT

Sorry, don't want to hijack your thread J  :shy:

The above example I gave is not a good one, but. Surely with a 200Mbps broadband connection and a gigabit NIC and a gigabit connection at the router it would be faster than 100Mbps NIC and the same 100Mbps at the router?

Boggin:
Your ADSL broadband sync speed is determined by the length and quality of the cable and joints between you and the exchange.

I have a 10/100 PCI Family Ethernet Controller and a Wireless b/g/n adapter rated at 300 Mbps with a broadband sync speed of around 6.6meg.

A Gigabit Ethernet is 10/100/1000.

Log into the router and check the Downstream Attenuation - divide that by 13.81 and that will give you the approx. length of cable in kms between you and the exchange, so the higher that figure, the lower the sync speed and vice versa.

Even when someone is within spitting distance of the exchange, their Downstream Attenuation may not reflect that because of the cable routing and who else it has to service.

Samson:
I get that Boggin. But the point I was trying to make was that the NIC can sometimes be the bottleneck to speed, talking here about fibre really I guess. http://help.virginmedia.com/system/selfservice.controller?CMD=VIEW_ARTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=3851&CURRENT_CMD=SEARCH&CONFIGURATION=1001&PARTITION_ID=1&USERTYPE=1&LANGUAGE=en&COUNTY=us&VM_CUSTOMER_TYPE=Cable

I'll shut up... Sorry for hijacking J  :shy:

Boggin:
The discussion may have served its purpose in clarifying an adapter's rating and broadband sync speeds :)

 :cheesy: Did I mention that my 54g wireless USB adapter is plugged into a USB 1.1 port, so even slower!
You can tell, that although I am the head of my family, where I sit in the pecking order of the household  :cheesy:

J, really, really sorry for hijacking  :shy:
