After you factor in all the overhead from the wireless stuff...even if
it gets throttled by 90% and he only gets a little over 1 mbit/s...this
is still far above his internet speed.  I am having a hard time
understand why he is assuming it is his wireless.

I have seen wireless setups where clients randomly disconnect every few
minutes (and then proceed to reconnect) and it totally trashes any
downloads they had running.

So if we take a 256K DSL line, factor in 20% overhead for ATM and/or
other
network stuff, whack off 20% for WEP, we've reduced our throughput to
about
150KBps.  802.11b is half-duplex as well, if I recall.

Check, what type of 'raw' download speeds are you seeing
(http://test.lvcm.com or http://sea.speakeasy.net)?

>> How much overhead does 128-bit WEP add?
