Apparently, the 125 Mbps claim is being dropped by Broadcom, in favor of
just printing 125 on the merchandising.

There are several manufacturers (Linksys, Bufallo, USR, ...) that are
integrating Broadcom's new Afterburner chip. From what I can understand, it
does not bind two channels like the Atheros Super G. It actually uses one
channel and gets its speed boost by sending more data in one frame, thereby
boosting its average throughput for the allocated bandwidth.
How is this proving out in testing (Broadcomm vs Atheros)?
Personally, I like the Broadcom method IF IT DOES WORK. If not, I'll have to
bank on Super G, which has a 3-6 month lead in shipped products. Maybe its
too early to tell. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Pat
