From what I've read it is. Both slow and packet loss. I've
researched a lot, and it's convinced me to avoid wireless. Which
just became available in my area, cheaply, and I'm very close to
the access node antenna. Much of what I've researched seemed to
apply to LAN's too. Actually most all of it said to expect about
20% or more reduction in thruput due mainly to packet drops, and
the need to re-try. So it seems you're doin pretty well ;)
