Radio bandwidth is a lot more finite and is much more susceptible to interference, and other factors.  All these wonderfully fast speeds you keep hearing about?  Those are theoretical speeds in ideal conditions in a lab.<br><br>But yeah, if you don't care for it, don't buy it, just like you're doing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eh?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2009 9:41PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
