Without a doubt it really depends on the system configuration and what pleases the person using it
oh, BTW, nothing to get in the middle of, no fiend no fowl here in the least. I find it hard to put much out emotionally over stuff like hardware and such.
I've been part of a strategic team in product development for 2 mbit 10 mbit and 11 mbit Spread Spectrum Radio and Microwave Wireless BRouters, Routers, and Bridges, working in conjunction with AT&T Lucent, Clarion, KarlBridge, and Proxim in the past and know how numbers and such always get twisted and skewed to fit the purposes in the desired direction. So in the end it will always boil down to user satisfaction being the mean point to bench mark anything with.
It was always a point of contention between us (myself and all the others) about not using the true Ethernet traffic being passed as the actual speed indicator instead of including the overhead and garbage so they could claim T-1 and above speeds.
A T-1 is not 1.2 mbit as advertised, instead it is 1.0 at best, the rest is wrappers, ack/nak, rip/sap and other trash which means noting as an indicator of true speed... neat how that works
