Can wireless internet reach the same speeds as wired? The short answer is no. Without a huge advancement in our internet technologies, wireless will almost always be beaten by a wired connection. I only say ‘almost’ because certain issues in wiring can cause speeds to drop. In other words, as long as there are no issues, wired connections win. Why? To put it simply, because the internet is travelling straight from point A to point B. Think of the internet as a car. With a wired connection, you get to drive on the road straight to your destination. With wireless, you’re travelling through the woods in that same car. Sure, you can get to your destination, but you might have to go through a few trees to do so. Even though wireless can’t reach the same speeds as a wired connection though doesn’t mean they can’t reach the speed you’re paying for. The fact is that the difference in speeds will likely be negligible. So, while wired connections are faster, wireless is still fast and should absolutely not be disregarded.
