Makes even bigger difference for the home user

In the office their is probably 1-2 other wifi signals at the 2.4ghz frequency and a few people that have bluetooth turned on on their phones or laptops.

At home I have so many competing devices:
a cordless home phone
baby monitor
Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse
TV/Digi Sender
10 detectable wifi signals from neighbours
A microwave in regular use
Plus whatever cordless phones/baby monitors my neighbours use.

The 5ghz frequency avoids so much more interference and I just hope they don't start making lots of other devices at that frequency.
