Relationship between Internet connection speed and router speed? So i was wondering what the difference between the internet connection speed and the wireless network adapter was. For example, if my internet connection speed from my service provider was 7 Mbps, but on my computer it says that my LAN connection is 100Mbps or my wireless connection is 54 Mbps. How is this possible if the internet speed is only 7 Mbps to begin with?
What is the cheapest high speed internet connection to get? I used to have dial-up which sucked but then my crappy little town got what I believe is some form of DLS. It's better than dial-up but aweful compared to any good high speed internet connection. Not to mention the connection speed seems to greatly fluctuate. I even had the people providing it get after me because apparently I was downloading too much or something and hogging the internet for the rest of the town. Money is a pretty big issue so I really need to find a reasonably priced connection. Also preferably one that can handle an xbox 360 for online play. Both my comp and 360 have connections that get good then bad then terrible and back again, it gets very annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why is my Internet connection speed so inconsistent? I have an 8Mbps Internet connection and the download, upload, and ping parameters vary all the time! The usual variation is 2-5Mbps. I use a cable connection modem to a wireless router.

Why do these devices vary in speed all the time?
