On Wireless DSL - while "digital subscriber line" is good if you break it out, the fact that it associates with the PSTN service just makes me *facepalm*. Whatever makes the public understand is what you've got to do, though!
The real problem - simply comparing megabits per second and nothing else. 10 megabits at 2000ms latency to anything is useless to me. 1 megabit at 50ms latency to most things is more then usable.
