54 Mbps ?
Thats what its running at right now...
This is a cable connection my friend has and set me up with wireless. Theres an Linksys access point in my front window and a wireless card in my pc.
He has a wireless router or something in his front window (about 40' down from mine- same wall).
Kinda nice...
I dont think its as fast as I hope. That 790MB file Im downloading is still going to take almost 10 Hrs...

Awesome!
54 Mbps is... ungodly fast and REALLY exepensive (I'm talking $250+ per month, if it is Verizon FiOS). I think your friend is lying :)

No lies. I click on my wireless connection icon on the bottom right and its anywhere between 54-48 Mbps
But its still taking me like 1 1 1/2 to download a song on bear share...

Ryan you sure thats not your conection speed to the router. I think mine shows about the same when I am conected to wireless. Right now it shows 100, hooked to the lan. I have DSL 2000, so I know its not really that fast.

I'm getting about 1400 kbps from that site. I usually get higher, tonight is a busy night though. My connection is 5000 kbps (or 5 megabit). I download at up to 620 KB/s (kilobytes, not bits).
