    You can game lag free and have VoIP calls with zero interruption on 5Mbps.

    Yeah on like… 2-4 devices total lol.

    What if I want to play MariokartDS online with 8 of my friends on the same connection?

    My WEP router advertises 11 Mbps WiFi, I want to use the whole thing.

      I see the /s , but I remember hosting 16 people lobbies with 5 Mbps. Its not about bandwidth, but more throughput. Yes, some overhead will cause bandwidth issues, but most of it is THROUGHPUT (ping/ latency).
