Question about SPEED

I am a bit confused, if someone can please clarify. I use Comcast Internet
which gives me a connection of 6mbps. 802.11b is 11mbps rate and 802.11g is
54mbps. If both standards are ALREADY faster than 6mbps why do people buy
these faster routers. I don't understand. Isn't 802.11b more than enough
already???

Can't figure it out?

Thanks in advance if anyone can explain!!!

Re: Question about SPEED

Because people don't JUST use wi-fi and wireless routers for internet.

We already have wireless routers capable of speeds in excess of 200mbps
(claimed). Why? For gaming is the biggest reason, as well as file
transfer. Also, video and audio streaming takes up a lot of bandwidth
for those that are into those setups for their home theatre.

You can never have too much bandwidth/speed.
