Depends where you live. There are ISPs that will get you 250 Mbit downstream via FTTH, but their WiFi supports only 802.11n over 2.4 GHz only. When your neighbors get similar setup, you will not get over WiFi anything that approaches your Internet speed.

Definitely - my point was simply that the annual FCC broadband reports don't show the average U.S. connection anywhere near that speed.
