I'm on my housemates laptop atm and it's downloading at a steady 1mb but on mine which is wireless I can only get around 120kbs, obviously this is wired, just curious as I might get a wired connection instead of buying a wireless card.
it's all down to which provider here in belgium really. whenever I go visit my mate in brussels, I tend to bring my laptop for downloading pleasure - such good speeds.
Wired is faster in theory, but in practice the speed bottleneck is usually the outside connection, not the wireless routing. Unless you're hooked up to an extremely fast connection (i.e. in an office setting) you won't notice a performance difference between wired and wireless connection. The fastest broadband offered to home consumers is still slower than the typical speed of a wireless network.
Yeah but as has been mentioned, with wireless you also have interference issues, antenna design, etc etc while with wired you don't have these problems unless you have an ultra long cable.
We have only ever had one phone socket which has been downstairs and one PC (main house PC) which was upstairs, due to this the only way to connect was to feed a 15metre wire through the house and under the carpet etc. Anyway when i got my laptop decided to go wireless and the PC connection connected over half times more than before.
Is wired broadband quicker than wireless?
