Same as 11mbit WiFi. And since 2,4Ghz has changed into a public frequence (anyone can use it how and when they want to) the pure frequency is... getting crowded. Put a WiFi access point in your garage, you're set. Put a 2,4Ghz Panasonic cordless phone in the kitchen and nothing works because of interference. If you could 'listen' to the airwaves you'd see how messed up it is :) 2,4 WiFi is a pain in the ass to set up in a public place, you have to look for other people and their personal antennas and access points, if the airwaves cross each other - it's a big no go. <br /><br />Think nineties. Remeber picking up your HUGE white plastic telephone (cordless) and turning it just to hear your neighbour talk with his wife? I remember things like this. Then, the frequency in which the phone transmitted to the central dock station was SO LOW, if you hooked an old model like that up today, you'd probably hear your mircrowave working. Or your DVD player. Or whatever, coz that frequency is long gone... umm, wasted.<br /><br />Well not that this comment has to do anything with ISP's in Latvia. Just a thought before supper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
