you should notice a significant difference from wired.
Its not like you are likely to have an Internet connection pumping out 100Mbit
and 802.11g comfortably can max out broadband up to around 12Mbit,
potentially more. I would be shocked if Marketplace comfortably did 12Mbit
because reading around the web people constantly report it under-performing
on faster connections.
Latency wise, again it depends on interference. If hardly anyone is using
2.4Ghz frequencies in your area and your 360 is the only thing using your
wireless, then the latency is 1-2ms which shouldn't be noticeable when
broadband tends to add at least 10ms on top of that anyway. That said, I
have often wondered if the 360 pads themselves are enough to slow down the
wireless performance. It can't be optimal having 2.4Ghz pumping out the
front of the 360 and the back too.
