Depending on signal strength and negotiated speed of course!

In theory it should, but in practise it's often not the case.

If there are a lot of wireless networks near you, try and move to the least used channel (remembering the only fully seperate bands are 1, 6 and 11). The other thing to do is take a look around the house at what wireless equipment you have (phones, TV senders, etc) - if you've still got manuals, then maybe check the frequencies they run at and make sure there isn't an overlap. It can take a little bit of time but can make a difference.

Also, how many machines do you have sharing your wireless LAN? Remember that (best case) you're essentially looking at having half of the indicated bandwidth available and that divided among the machines connected. For example, if the adapter indicates it's connected at 54mbps then I'd only take 27 of that as maximum useful throughput. If you have 3 machines then that's a maximum of 9mbps per machine. This is all assuming perfect conditions of course!

Well, according to Wikipedia today is the first official day of summer in 2008.

According to http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html...t_service.html

"By the summer all our customers on Broadband Size: L will be surfing at dizzying speeds of up to 10Mb."

all upgrades should be completed by today... oh dear...

Nope, their statement is clear. That they haven't kept to it is no surprise though.
