    That's on mobile using 4G. Unfortunately there was a fiber cable breach earlier today, so my actual broadband is currently down.

    Nice... I beat you on download, but I wouldn't mind that upload speed - mine's currently maxed at around 28Mbps

    Well. P2p takes a bit, and also running some fileservers in general (for network access to local stuff) - it's a bit of a pain when offsite having to wait for files to transfer.

    Wifi is always worse than cable. For sure. And if it's shared with other people that bad results are completely normal :(

    Yes. However, as long as your outside speed does not exceed your WiFi speed, you can probably live with WiFi without any trouble.

    Yes, but it's always easier for the signal to travel trough cable. Much less signal loss there.

    In Ireland we get ripped off big time..
    I pay for 360MB Down and 25MB Up ,,, But as you can see, I only get 330MB Down,, and not even 20MB Up.

    Rip Off !

    True, again, but currently we're reaching the max limit for cabled network, while wifi nets are being boosted exponentially (almost). Hence it's probably not gonna last.
    Also, since I get about 270-300 Mbps via wifi (continuously) I can deal with it. If I need to transfer huge amounts of files, or very, very large files, I hook up a cable and run it on 1Gbps instead.

    I agree with you. My point is that you can reach your maximum speed your ISP provides you via the cable better :) With wifi u get more loss.

    And again, not really. Current Wifi-speed: 300 Mbps. Current ISP speed: 105Mbps. Hence I have 3 times the speed on wifi than on ISP. Even with 6-7 units using the Wifi, I notice no slowdown on the link - it's stable on 300Mbps. Hence the only reason to use cable is internally - on the LAN. For transferring larger files between computers, or similar tasks.

    So if the signal travels trough 1 or 2 walls or some kind of obstacles you say you don't get signal loss ?

    Depends. You might get signal loss, the question is how MUCH signal loss, and if it's noticeable. As I said, I have a 100 Mbps internet connection. My internal Wifi-connection is 300 Mbps. Even taking into account problems with drops and packet loss, let's say I have twice the actual bandwidth on the internal wifi compared to the internet connection. That means I would need quite a bit of signal loss to take away 50% of the signal. When the router is one wall away, even closer now that I reconfigured the living room, I have no noticeable loss. Also measured both on the router and on the computer, most of the time it's stable 300 Mbps, maybe dropping to 270-280 from time to time. Note: this is a MIMO-router, and most of my connected peripherals have MIMO capability - if they don't, they connect to a different Wifi-network, so they don't interfere.

    New, modern routers have fairly decent capabilities when it comes to signalstrength. I can sit in the park next to my apartment, about 30-40 meters away, and still get a signal - not a very GOOD signal, but enough to surf the web, albeit slowly. About the speed of a B-connection, perhaps. Within the apartment, the only place I have to drop to the 2.4Ghz network is in the bathroom, but that is understandable - concrete walls on one side, plumbing and tiles - all block quite a bit of the signal. However, that does not affect my desktop, naturally, which is sitting in one place, always.
