If I have a 1.5Mb/sec pipe, and someone is using 1/2 of it, my max speed is 1/2 of what it should be.

I have lost half my bandwidth. That's theft, plain and simple.

And yes, most of the time I'm running 80-90% of my bandwidth.

Also, on many WiFi networks, they're 802.11b/g... defaulting to b is any *one* b unit gets on. Whammo, you just lost nearly 80% of your bandwidth internally to boot. (54Mb -> 11Mb).

There's a reason my WAP is locked down tight.
