People, I have just about entered the 21st century. I am only 10 years late.
I still do not have a landline courtesy of my friends at Failstra, however this evening I crawled behind the TV to connect up a cable modem to my Foxtel point and I am now WIRELESS. What a revelation it is to sit with (my work) laptop on knee and iPhone in hand both connected to the ether.
Methinks perhaps 5 connections at one time will not be enough in this household. On our recent holiday we had 10 adults, 5 children and 23 devices connected to the wireless router at our accommodation. Think about it - we all had a laptop, a smartphone, there were 3 iPads and a couple of the kids had iTouches. Soon everything will have a wireless component and our household wireless demands will be huge.
My sturdy desktop, however, is not yet wireless. The 24 hour Failstra connection guru tells me that I need some sort of adapter for my 3yo outmoded technology ("desktops...do they still exist?"). I find it somewhat amusing that my wireless adapter will be coming via snail mail and not arriving in the fireplace in a puff of green smoke.
And while we are talking wireless, when are we going to be able to do away with the twenty cables that connect our TV to all the bits and bobs? Surely that's the next BIG IMPROVEMENT.

The size of your estimates will seem like a minor hiccup after all this!
