This is very good for home use and recommended. Direct PC for a single user may be the best deal yet. Today you can connect at faster than wireless both directions if you are at the right location. Will not get faster. The future is 3g for video.
Great advantage is the ability to up-grade to faster speeds as they become available.
This is for the serious users. I have been predicting for five years the growth would be in wireless, just as it was with cellular. If your location has a clear view of the mountains, wireless may be not only the faster speed for you, but the cheapest connection for the speed obtained. Fiber Optics shows a lot of promise for residential areas. For video and faster searching on the Internet.
