We have had wireless for a looooong time now.  almost 3 years .... 
Buran bought our first wireless router for my birthday 3 years ago, and my parents bought the card 

  I have been free and wireless ever since!
I love it!  One little problem where we are now.  Because of the way our house is built, I constantly lose signal in the living room.  We are working on building a better anttenae for the station now to boost the signal.  Our house is all kinds of weird angles - hahahahah thats why it happens - same reason i cant get a damn cell signal...
For what its worth, I do like the wireless - i like being able to get online COMPLETELY SAFELY in the middle of a horrible florida thunderstorm - no power cord, no ethernet cord, no way for lightning to fuck it up!
