Are you sure about that? Typically wireless offers less bandwidth
than wired, not more. E.g., the simple protocols that are most
commonly used are 11 MBps or 52 (IIRC) for 802.11g. My DSL service is
at least 5 times that fast...
If it were faster, than I would certainly imagine that the cable and
phone people would be mad! But I bet it's not faster.
On the other hand, it's a heck of a lot cheaper not to have to run
cables, be on top of the switch (as with DSL), and not have to rewire
your house....
