In general, both B and G products will do the job for you. There are a few differences, as far as I believe. WIth B you may expect between 4 and 5 Mbps in netperf performance. With G up to 17-18.
1) Cost slightly more (which is not a concern for you) 2) Most G can speak B but B can not speak G. So if you have plenty of B nodes around you can force your device to go G but not the reverse. I would go G but carefully evaluate vendors. /Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pablo Casaux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2003 4:31 AM Subject: [BAWUG] should I go b or g with a 512k cablemodem. what should I buy? > Hi guys: > > I have 2 basic questions.
