Phone with wifi B/g

heinervb · 2013-04-05 15:27:27

I am thinking of ordering a phone and it has wifi b/g. Does it make big difference over a phone that has wifi b/g/n?

4mbit is enough to max Youtube in 1080p, most of the time your providers link to Google through the Inex is the bottleneck as 65-70% of their traffic is to Google. Most smartphones come with wireless "n" anyway

Have you got an n router?

I doubt it will make much difference unless your streaming HD from a hard drive or computer on your local network, which would be a bit pointless on a phone IMO.
