It is in the archives and i don't have time to look it up but 802.11b does not surf the web at 11 Mbps. that is the fastest that the wireless router can transfer data, say a document between two computers networked through the wireless router. 11g can transfer data, with a better than excellent signal, up to 54Mbps. Getting info from the backbone is limited. I had qwest DSL when i lived in st paul and i had 512k down, 256k up. i used a laptop with 802.11b but i still had 512k down and 256k up. I know have time warner cable in mpls and i get the mid 300k down while hooked to a 802.11g router. What the city is saying is the speed the internet gets to the access points will be slightly slower than cable. I am not explaining this well I know but someone posted a clear explanation in january maybe? it was the last time this wireless city came up. John Harris webber-camden REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
