Virgin Media - Many Wi-Fi Routers Can't Handle 50Mbps
Virgin Media's Director of Technical Strategy, Kevin Baughan, has warned that many 802.11 based home
Wi-Fi networks may be unable to handle the operators forthcoming 'up to' 50Mbps cable broadband products.
...
Baughan believes that 9m UK homes passed by Virgin Media in the UK will be able to access 50Mbps this year, rising to 12.5m by 2009....
"
the above news post just reiterates what iv said for a long time now, 'your real throughput 11g at 22Mbit, isnt going to be good enough for the upcoming 50Mbit. time to upgrade to 11N and the new Wimax when that finally arrives'.
BTW remember my other idea about VM cable buying some spectrum and using their edge fibre and users to make a brand new UK Wimax Docsis wireless network
.
well..., it might not be UK VM, or exactly the same idea, but the large US cable companys are infact getting together now.....

"Comcast, Time Warner Cable in Wireless Talks"
will VM follow ?, perhaps not, or at least not until they get some competition gearing up, such as the manchester Wimax freedom4 and the 3rd party resellers
Somerfield 
i wonder if they will be Phormed, perhaps we might ask them LOL.
perhaps VM would be wise to buy/rent and secure that Manchester Airport (baguley cable NW hub site etc) and its surounding airspace before someone else does...

The supermarket chain Somerfield is trialling the long-range, high-bandwidth wireless technology WiMax
.
According to the virtual network operator providing the service, Vanco, WiMax has already been deployed for Somerfield in Manchester.
Vanco claims to be the first managed services provider to offer WiMax for corporate wide area networks (WANs).
However, the service itself is actually provided by Vialtus, known until recently as Pipex Business, and "powered by" Freedom4, the WiMax company previously known as Pipex Wireless"
