SAVE YOUR BUCK!

Right, for those who are reading this.. am saving your money!

If you are going to spend $100 and above to get that 100mbps from one of the ISP here thinking that you will be having god-like speed, think again.

Let me explain why, the 100mbps is from your house to the ISP exchange point! even so, if you are using wireless at home, you will still cap at 54mbps if you're still on G standard! okokay, if you're on N standard, yes 300mbps for LAN which means you can transfer packet through the air to your router/access point at the 300mpbs speed and the catch here is UP TO 300mbps. So, wireless N router/access point is still a good buy if you have a NAS at home because you can transfer your data UP TO 300mbps.

Back to the 100mbps plan with your ISP. okay, let say you now have got the best of everything at home... 100mbps boardband plan, wireless N. But when you access website that are host overseas like in the USA, you still get the same speed with someone who uses 3mbps accessing the same web when the traffic is high and when any of the undersea cable is cut like the recent ACPN2 cable.

What about site hosted locally? That I'm not soo sure but surely it must depend on the traffic. If it's jam den you're still wasting money.
