Sure. And you're using WLAN. Have fun even getting close to the
10 MB/s 100MBit Ethernet offers.

i must be having a lot of fun then.

802.11n easily beats 100base-t

Yes, it does, if you talk about brutto transmission data in
optimal circumstances.

nope. standard normal day to day usage.

Let me guess: close distance, only 1 thin wall, only one active client
at a time.

you guessed wrong. 3-4 clients, sometimes through a wall.

obviously, if i go far enough away the performance drops, but that's
easily fixed with another base station if it turns out to be an actual
problem.

Standard normal day to day usage is gigabit ethernet.

not for mobile devices such as tablets and laptops, it isn't. wireless
is where it's at.

Promise me to never measure transmitted data in the real world,
you'd be in for a big disappointment.

i have, and i'm not disappointed at all. 802.11n is quite comfortable.

... on a 30 MBit internet connection.

i'm not talking about the internet connection.

i'm talking about transferring files between machines or servers.
