it could go down to b for all I care, as long as the backend connection gets better! 11megs it PLENTY, but when you can get less than 200k to the net most of the time, (and sometimes slower than that) you don't need an n standard access point. You need a faster internet connection, or QOS controls to keep people from torrenting and other large downloads(I'd prefer they not to this in large scale, there are very legit reasons one could need this for work purposes as well)
