But tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine, and I'm pain free, you jab another pin,
Jab another pin in me

802.11a is obsolete.

802.11b is 11mbps

802.11g is 54mbps

there is a new g standard that pushes it up to 104mbps I believe...but to be honest with you...you're not gonna notice the speed unless you're transferring files from computers on the same home network.

Most broadband connections top out at about 5mbps.

Hehe, there are thousands.  You might need to tighten up your question a bit http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/802.11_Timelines.htm
