You can expect best case of 50% thru put for wifi (I.e., 50Mbs), and usually much less. Think overhead for encryption, error recovery, and speed reduction for distance. Add to that most wifi speeds on the box come from the marketing department ... Then, if you are in a crowded (rf wise)

Congestion isn't the only reason to use TCP and a VPN. 3G smartphone network (Optus in Oz) has a large number of duplicate and dropped packets - openvpn performance over TCP is much better. Similar case with a cheap French network while on holiday there. This was an extreme case though with
