We already do actually, you are confusing it with 54MBps (notice capital B). 1 Byte = 8 bits, so 54Mbps would give you under 7 megabytes per second max. I have a 50MB broadband connection at the moment, and it maxes out at just over 6MB/s for that reason.

Actually I'm well aware of the difference between a megabit and a megabyte. ;-) I was referring to the chasm between theoretical maximums and typical throughput achieved in practice. (Most wireless G networks I've used come no where near 54Mbps (AKA ~6.4MB/s), even under ideal conditions, though I seem cursed when it comes to shopping for well-performing wifi equipment).
