    The main problem wireless BB is not the speed, but the pings. With a good dsl package it will be about 30ms but with wireless BB (I assume you going for Ripwave) your pings will be about 100ms min on a good day.

    Ping is the amount of time it take to send information to the server and then get it back to you. With a FPS this is very important.
