Do you live out in the sticks?
Wireless is good when you need a mediocre connection anywhere otherwise you need copper (at minimum) for a high speed reliable connection. In dense apartment buildings its not unusual to see a dozen different networks. There's only room for 3 without interference.
I did say FUTURE.
I understand that wireless is not optimal now. But investing in broadband cable seems to me kind of like investing in VHS technologies when DVD's were already shown to be the wave of the future. Broadband cable seems like a dead end to me.
