What's the scoop on Broadcom's 125

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Apparently, the 125 Mbps claim is being dropped by Broadcom, in favor of
just printing 125 on the merchandising.

There are several manufacturers (Linksys, Bufallo, USR, ...) that are
integrating Broadcom's new Afterburner chip. From what I can understand, it
does not bind two channels like the Atheros Super G. It actually uses one
channel and gets its speed boost by sending more data in one frame, thereby
boosting its average throughput for the allocated bandwidth.

How is this proving out in testing (Broadcomm vs Atheros)?

Personally, I like the Broadcom method IF IT DOES WORK. If not, I'll have to
bank on Super G, which has a 3-6 month lead in shipped products. Maybe its
too early to tell. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Pat

Its not a matter of going 108 or 125, that's truly hype. Its a matter of
just going faster. Clearly, using 108 or 125 can be superior to pure 54.
Where do you see the difference. Not so much on file sharing, which is only
fair to good, compared to wired. But on print sharing, the faster than 54
definitely helps.

Depends on the file and printer - if you're printing high resolution files
off a graphics printer, your print files can easily be 50 - 100+ MB
