Semantics (Destiny)

Personally, the point I was trying to make is that the answer should always be "depends" regardless of your networking medium. I have over a decade in IP Networking/Telecom land and cellular/RF of all types/Satellite/whatever. If you can communicate on it I have probably managed, maintained and/or operated it. Some of the things I've seen just boggle the mind. I do know what you mean by it. I just hate treating it as an absolute.

You are much more likely to have issues with wireless due to pure signal volume, sure. But I've also seen wired networks killed by sufficient adjacent power (I don't want to Go into too many details, but substantial generator cluster) or all manner of other ghosts or magnetic fields giving issues on the wires. (I don't actually think either of those two are the problem)

I guess I just prefer the clarity of identifying individual needs over blanket statements which almost always have some viable work around. A wired connection should always work better than wireless, but I have personally experienced that not being the case. And should is a bad word. I would only suggest it to someone looking for a solution with a particular problem, then it can be properly addressed.

But you know, until you've played Xbox by bouncing the signal off the ionosphere you haven't really lived, have you?
