i use a wired connection on my console and every serious PC gamer too...
its better than wifi in every way... in Wii U you can have the adapter but even that is worse than a built-in... since the USB to Ethernet conversion will for sure add lag in "heavy traffic" MP game... it is not such a bad thing for good Internet connections, but if you have a bad one, adding more lag won't help for sure... not a disaster but it is not optimal either...

who still uses wires for internet?

Everyone with a desktop?

While not as important before, ethernet is so helpful when playing games online. Eliminates a lot of hassle and ping woes.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Couldn't find anything on how ping is affected.

"Up to 40%" includes everything between 0% and 40%. Much like how broadband speeds which are advertised as "up to 60meg" can still be throttled and rarely reach that.

Also, the Daily Mail is a joke newspaper. Please don't source articles from it.

Up to 40% slower, that is not true. I haven't seen 50mb/s speeds on any 802.11n devices, even as close as 10cm to the router.

What kind of an answer is that? I take it that you don't know what kind of performance that 10$ dongle offers.

I mentioned this before but I have 3 MB of internet speed and I use wifi and I don't have big issues (if any) with the lag. Sure I never have the best ping in room but I rarely have the worst. Am I the only one? >.>

I don't read newspapers.

Is this better?

Anyway, ping is most important of all because it's a gaming console, but I couldn't find anything on it.
