The only downside is that if you have it at home, it's only as wide as the pipe that feeds it. Standard coax-powered cable modems are stuck at 10mb I think, but streaming in-home from a media pc to the home theater pc would be fantastic.

Call me oldfashioned, but I'm already pleased with the speed of the WiFi in my new Dell notebook.
Must admit that we have glassfiber here, and the modem is a FritzBox which is also quite speedy ...

We have coax coming into our house and I get a 1Gb service (meaning about 800Mb max).
I think it's because it's so damn cold here the cables are essentially superconducting.

My cable modem gives me 250 Mbps.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That's like you driving your mustang crazy fast ... and then slamming the brakes at the red light 100m down the road. Or in my case, our ISPs feed to our building.
Now 5G, on the other hand, gets me excited. 10-20 Gbps. Goodbye landline.

I have my tin foil hat.
They've been looking for proof of the danger of cellphone radiation for nearly 40 years (well above the threshold for effects to be apparent) and the latest I heard is it's still all clear. Or they've found weak correlation. Or there's no chance. Or...
I'm far more likely to die in a car accident.

I'm most likely to die as a result of being a smart-ass at precisely the wrong time. 
I'm okay with that.

Before you can ignore a problem, you have to first admit to yourself that you have a problem.

I've actually left instructions with my wife that when I die, I want her to announce it here. That way, y'all can set up appropriate memorials, arrange celebrations, and maybe even a forum titled, "What Would JSOP Do?".

I know you're busy, so you can really put it off until after I'm gone.

Are you kidding? Why do you think CP's latency just went up by a factor of 3?

And by surviving a massive stroke for 2 days on the floor, I've offered partial proof that that applies to me!

I don't want more speed out of my Wi-Fi connection; it's already much faster than what my ISP can provide. I want reliability through a stronger signal.
Right now, I still haven't seen any significant difference in terms of reliability, having gone through 802.11b, g, n and ac routers over the years, and still often losing the signal to it momentarily, when sitting on the porch outside the house, essentially a few feet below and on a diagonal from the router. Perhaps 15 feet (top) in a straight line, going through a brick wall.
(And yes, not only have I gone through multiple routers, but I'm seeing the same with various laptops and tablets. Wireless simply sucks IMO.)

Maybe you should move to a new house, you know one of those Japanese ones with paper walls

Nah. Wires for me. If I absolutely want to be outdoors, and wired, then the Ethernet-over-powerlines adapter I have works in the gazebo in the backyard.

I'll bet you had even better choices. So, taking a gamble that you wager options carefully.
