  A 65% or more reduction in bandwidth is something *I* would fret
  about if I spent all that money on 'g' gear.  You're talking about
  going from an ideal 54Mb to an ideal ~18Mb.  Even if you're not
  getting the full 54Mb, your bandwidth is still going to drop no
  matter what 'g' speed you are running.

  Absolutely!  Wires are hard to beat, although they *can* be a major pain
  to install-- and if you rent, more or less impossible.
