Network Speed Question

Does a Wired LAN connection ever drop below 100Mbps

Does a Wireless LAN ever go above 11Mbps

Thanks, I am working on a Speed Progress Bar.

The metrics noted above are absolute maximums for the given network technology. It is important to note that applications, protocols and other factors (congestion, etc) directly affect the throughput and thus one should not assume all data will move between host A and host B at the maximum rate as noted above.

With wired LAN, the speed is dependant upon the hardware, but once it's been determined it shouldn't change. It is possible to have a wired LAN at 10MBps using older ethernet equipment, and even slower with other wired networking technologies (and perhaps even ancient ethernet versions).

Wireless LANs have high speed variability, and can even change from one second to the next. Officially, there is no "WiFi" standard that is less than 11Mbps, but due to signal noise and interference, I've seen connections as low as 2Mbps.
