NBN claims to offer speeds up to 100Mb/sec - e.g. http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/isp-9-16/internode-nbn.htm My ADSL2+ maxs out at 7Mb/sec - could be fairly common for ADSL2+ so my WiFi g which does 54Mb/sec (throughput typically max half of that) would certainly not hit that limit. So I would certainly be impressed by anything above 7Mb/sec. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11g-2003 Are you talking Wifi N - up to 300Mb/sec (probably 150 throughput) ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11n-2009 or even 802.11ac - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac Andrew On 12 July 2012 13:44, Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au> wrote:
Interesting, but will you notice the difference between ADSL and NBN over Wifi? So far I don't think I've ever seen anything approaching ADSL speeds over Wifi so I don't expect much difference.
Also there's the issue of quota. As the current NBN plans have quotas that aren't much different to ADSL plans I don't expect that cafe to allow me to connect a laptop via GigE. If there was a cafe offering Ethernet access at speedds higher than ADSL2+ then I'd be very interested.
