mine is split to 2 computers thru a router. the other computer is running at 5167k. i think wireless does have a small effect. my daughter runs wireless at her house and it is just slightly slower than hardwired.

Grande runs fiber straight to the home, AT&T is slowly doing it as well.

They run it to a media converter more than likely. Then from that converter to a cable that goes into your house. Nonetheless it should be quicker. Now fiber straight to your desktop.... That is the ultimate way to go. Having a dedicated T1 for home Internet use is just crazy fast.

Having a dedicated T1 for home Internet use is just crazy fast. and in most cases unnecessary! lol my cable is plenty fast enough for what i need it for and probably fast enough for most people

I am running about 1.3 meg at home with
a 420 up. Not bad. It is more than fast enough that my old processer and lack of mem probably is slowing it down some.

Home Connection Speed. With 1 PC server, 1 normal PC, and my PS3. I have a D-Link 10/100/1000 Game Lounge Router. The PC I ran it off of has has a Gb NIC which is operationg at 1000 and seems to helps increase the speed a little more.
