For me AirPort is slower because I do large data back-ups over the network. This is where the 8-10 MB/s I normally get from 100Base-T is nice.
AirPort at its fastest in real life gets me about 1 MB/s. 30 GB at 1 MB/s = 8+ hours. 30 GB at 10 MB/s = 50 minutes.</strong><hr></blockquote>
luckily, i dont do any data back-up. i just use the internet for gaming, email, etc. currently i have DSL. (but i do hate all those wires running around my house.) realistically, for my purposes, would i notice lags in gaming, or have much slower upload/download times? disconnect when i answer the cordless phone?

It should be fine. I haven't uploaded anything yet using Airport, but I've downloaded quite a bit of stuff and the speeds have been just as fast as when my Cable Modem was directly plugged into my iBook. Also, I haven't gotten disconnected or anything while using cordless phones.

truthfully, is it slower than being connected via wires?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Not for me.

If you have a T3 or an OC5 backbone pumping data into your bedroom then maybe airport will bottleneck.
<strong>oooh, i want airport too. but i doubt i will be carrying an imac out on the deck.
