Don't know what you are talking about.
We have brand new copper wires now that replace the glass fibre. Now 100MBit /50MBit Internet is working while wireless Edge is max of what? 473 kbit/s? Slower then the boring upstream of my old ADSL?.
1GB through wire against 50MB throught WiFi - what is a crowded space anyway over here (The sniffer lists more then then base stations, I alone have two running)
