It's alright that for higher bandwidths wired will remain a better medium. For personal use I am content with less than 1mbps (say 512-750kbps etc) as long as it is consistent. I think wireless should be capable of providing that much of speed reliably. They advertise speeds "up to" 3.1mbps (CDMA) and 7.1mbps (3G), though one doesn't even get 50kbps reliably - at least so with bsnl 3g. (Haven't tried others.) I think it's due to indiscriminately adding customers without capacity planning or any control on QoS on the ISP's part.
