This is extremely nice & orgasmic for intranets, but is bupkiss for really anything else I suppose. Internet providers tout faster download rates & stroke their customers like crazy, but I'm getting the run around every time I wave a bunch of cash under their noses, so something is definitely up.

Case in point; I have 20mps currently, but supposedly can have 50mps. Obviously given the previous comment, I'm told I can't get it. Yet an hour to the north of me in a very metropolitan area, civilian (non business related) customers can get at least 100mps service from a provider I have yet to recognize.

Now I understand demographics & rednecks to real socialite scales, I get it, but you can understand the confusion when it blatantly advertised on the provider I am purchasing the service from.

Oh technology... you vex me so.

1GBs wifi is LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGG overdue! Now this is exciting! Wireless G speeds and N speeds are such an understated scam. When I transfer files on my wireless G at home, they take a long time.

This is indeed exciting news.
