For most people's use, it won't be.

It's ALWAYS faster. Whether wireless users know or not that they
aren't getting the full capability, that's their problem.

The limiting factor will be the
connection to the internet. As I said above...

Our tiny exchange was totally refurbished in 2006, giving us
high-speed broadband. Previously, we were one of the rural NOT spots
with only dial-up, and then, for some unexplained reason (maybe a
bigwig moved into the area), BT blitzed the local roads with their
vans, laid cable like nobody's business and we now have said BB that
runs very fast. So it would be madness to introduce a slow-down with
wireless.

A properly configured wireless network will *not* slow down an internet
connection that is at best about 20M.
I can max out my 20M broadband with ease over wireless while also doing a
backup also over wireless to a buffalo linkstation.

The days of 1M wireless have been gone for a decade now.

Cat5e is a darned sight cheaper.
