This is a problem that most people don't understand. The wireless at our office has 256mb/s over 802.11ac but the wireless hardware adds about 5 to 15ms of latency over the gigabit ethernet.

For gaming this is death were it's not bandwidth that kills you, it's latency.

I wonder how this could work in the "internet of tubes" analogy to explain to people?
