I had wireless quite some time ago. Over a year.

The advertized speeds are going to be your optimal, just like cable. The real problem for me was a less than great signal sometimes. I'm not sure if this has been fixed with boosters or amplifiers specificly for wireless internet. And I was not in the best location for top signal strength anyhow.

Thre was some lag at times, but not real bad. The up/down that they advertise sounds nice. Especially the up!
