How did you measure this speed and precision?
I admit, I'm not up with all of the wireless technology and limitations. All I know is that on my laptop (Windows XP) the Wireless Network Connection Strength of Signal icon in the taskbar showed excellent, and the speed was indicated at 48.0 Mbps. I have never, ever, had such a quick connection to the internet, pages seemed to load almost instantaneously (including FT) and while I didn't time downloads, I downloaded some large zip files from my firm's FTP site and it was FAST. It blew away any speed I have ever had, wireless or corded.
