New Wi-Fi 802.11n Standard Promise Speeds Up To 600Mbps

With ever increasing speeds I wonder; "Why?" In fact even just 10Mbps is sufficiant for 90% of internet users, email and webpages download plenty fast at that speed. The reason is home media...video and music....and of course the ensuing advertisements chewing up the bandwidth we just paid to upgrade to.

Let me try a different angle. An end user pulls down basic traffic for the most part until they start sharing their files, IE "serving". Music, video and media, make faster speeds really a necessity. Particularly when a person shares with multiple friends and family. So as the entertainment industries are suing people left and right the direction we are being encouraged to take includes more bandwidth to make it easier to violate er er er er I mean ....never mind, you get the picture.

Some vendors have already been selling a "pre-N" model for well over a year, but here it finally is. Its a fun world out there. The brightside is that you can now download new Linux distributions much faster :)
