When I can, I use a cable (and an adapter so I can use Ethernet with my MBP). I've achieved up to 100Mbps on Wi-Fi at home but the problem has always been variable latency. Any kind of interfere from the dozens of other Wi-Fi networks in the area seems to have an effect, so I always plug in if I can.

Note that I said 800-1100Mbps.

Symptom of crappy consumer equipment.

Well yeah, that is why I use 5GHz which doesn't penetrate walls very well so I don't get any interference.
