I'm happy to report that the bandwidth upgrade for the CLE Presidents Club was completed earlier this week. They are now at a full T-1 (1.5 mbs), essentially doubling the bandwidth in this clubroom.

It will not. Without getting too technical, no matter how fast the device connects locally, it's only as fast as the slowest point. In the case of our clubrooms, the slowest point would be the circuit. For example, in CLE our full T-1 circuit is 1.5mbs (just under 1/7th the speed of an 802.11b access point). Therefore, no matter how fast the local area network (LAN) connection is, the wide area network (WAN) will be the limiting factor.
