but if you find a website on the net thats configured to work at anywhere near that speed I'll eat it.

the laptop will cope, its 100 MBIT, not 100 Megabyte. The wireless will connect at 54/108 upwards, thats so no bottle neck. The only bottle neck can be the WAN port, which generaly is 10Mbps (megabytes per second) but this is usually enough, the router deals with the data/traffic efficiently enough to cope, Peters gear ismore than capable, and hell probably notice a big difference, especially when downloading/uploading (photos especially)

Not when he's already on 20mB.....like I say, I doubt you'll find a website that would release that much bandwidth to anyone.

But happy to be proven wrong

nah, but, most websites these days are pretty big, so, say a webpage is 10MB in size, that page is going to load onto Peters machine pretty quick, the upload speed of most web servers are far greater than what you get at home, but of course it depends on the site, hosting, provider etc etc, thats why providers of internet always state "up to xxmbps"
