Wireless online gaming - how fast is fast enough

[molinari]

Is it really necessary to have a wireless connection for a PC or Xbox 360 faster than 108Mbps when used for on-line gaming? There are a selection of 240Mbps and 300Mbps options available but would these really make much difference?

54Mbps is more than fast enough for gaming - what's important is the latency, and you're going to get the same latency with anything from 11Mbps 802.11b to 300Mbps MIMO.

To be honest 54mb is more than enough, as would be 11mb unless you have anything over say 6mb broadband.
