Information on new wireless technologies

Is it true that wireless broadband cannot offer high speeds like cable, ADSL+2, FTTH and FTTN? Virgin Media offers speed up to 20 Mbps using cable. FTTH uses optical fibre to deliver speed up to 100 Mbps. FTTN uses copper wire to offer ultra fast connections although the speed degrades drastically with distance.

My question is, what maximum speed can we expect from wireless broadband? May be there are new wireless technologies offering high speeds. What is the future of wireless broadband?

On a wireless broadband you can expect speeds up to 10mbps which is very fast it depends what your looking for.What do you mainly use the internet for please and do you need a really fast speed?

I think I can tell you the maximum download speed not maximum bandwidth.
It will be a little higher than ten percent of download speed that you are getting on wired connection. If you get 512 kb download speed on wired connection, you will get around 60 kb download speed when you go wireless.
