Good point. Agreed: not to mention the latency and packet loss with
medium-range 802.11<x> that some wireless Internet subscribers
experience. I think people using Comcast cable Internet, DSL, and FiOS
will see less of the problems typically associated with using wireless
for Internet connections when other wired alternatives are available.
Wireless is great when there is no other option (or the untethered
convenience is temporarily necessary) but IMHO is contraindicated otherwise.
