Internal wireless cards work better than USB NICs.

Wired is still far more reliable than wireless.

No argument from me on that. NIC's on Mo Bo?

ISP's change, technology changes software, etc.

I have ADSL, a Cisco router ~ 10 years old. I do see latency on
wireless -- not so much on a wired unit.

I haven't found the need for the 100 mbps for what I do.


I have installed 1000 base-T hubs at customer sites
and haven't noticed much of a change over 100 base-T

It is hard to keep the pipe full with the things most people do but
you will see a difference in big file transfers like backing up a
drive. I know when I hit a 100m leg I really see things slow down.
I am migrating to 1g everywhere as fast as I can but I still have a
lot of old stuff here.


I think the issue I am seeing is that they are using 1 Gig
on older machines that can not handle the throughput:
mechanical hard drives, slow RAM, etc.. These
machines are just slow in general.
You can fill up a 100m pipe with a disk to disk transfer even at PATA
speeds but you won't get to 1g with any machines I have. It is still a
lot faster tho.


Poop I have to put up with is a java program running over
the network. Dumb idea, but I have no control over it.
My job is to get it running and stay running.

Do you use Cat 5E or Cat 6 for your cabling? 5 is cheaper
and easier to run, but is not rated for 1 Gig (its works
though).

Have you worked with 10 Gig yet?

Had Cat5E in the old office, on Giga. No issues.

The new office is all Cat6. No experience with 10G
