1mb broadband and 54g wireless??

scottiedog · 07-05-2004, 05:09 PM

I run my broadband through a 54g wireless laptop card to my laptop.
If I upgraded to aol's 1mb broadband would i see much improvement in speed?
I download alot of files but would my wireless card only work to a maximum speed, if so should I just stay with broadband?
Also does anybody know how i can test my download speed?
thanks
Scott

B) stick with broadband, the 54g wireless card is the limiting factor in this equations.

C) google

D) aol is not faster then broadband, its slower

wireless G is 54Mbps. 1Mbps broadband is only 1/54th the potential of your 54 wireless G connection. you need to tell us what is the specific internet connection you are using now for a comparision. to test speed goto dslreports.com. for those that replied: where did he say about AOL, Roadrunner? is this a double post?
