I agree totally. I can't tell you how many wireless systems I have seen
that the owner says are "working fine", when all they really mean is
that they seem able to communicate with the internet. They don't see the
multiple retries or perceive the slowness since even a poorly operating
802.11 net is much faster than most home internet connections, and
latency is something not understood by most consumers (unless they have
satellite internet).
