    I am getting 25MB/s sustained transfer rate that is megabytes not megabits, used a laptop with Killer 1102 and Linksys E4200 used 5GHZ Band connected at 300mb/s

    Have a Desktop connected to router via gigabit ethernet and transfering a 154MB file from laptop to desktop takes 7 seconds, even with large 1.5GB file I get a sustained 25.4MB/s the burst speed is 48MB/s.. never had speeds this fast before...

    Update: Just tried the same file transfer with Intel 6230 @ 300mb/s 5GHZ band, and ony getting 10MB/s sustained, which is still fast but no way competes with the Killer... and I have bluetooth turned off

    I have tested the upload and download speed on the killer 1102, and the upload is slightly faster than the download! as the download is around 25MB/s but drops to 22MB/s sustained, this is all using only 2 spacial streams!

    Going to replace that 6230 with a Killer

    Those numbers seem rather high to me, i'm a little doubtful, especially of the 48MB/s since it would give you to a transfer speed of 384mbps. 25MB/s isn't impossible though.

    Well I sent a 9GB file in under 6 minutes , which equates to 25MB/s

    Your using 3 antennas @ 450mb/s I am using 2 antennas @ 300mb/s to achieve that speed, with an intel 6230 @ 300mb/s only getting 11MB/s, The killer cards have software to optimize the bandwidth, hence why the speeds are so high for the killer and not the intel

    Killer do a 3 antenna card @450MB/s would love to see the speeds that achieves but I only have a 2 antenna laptop

    That is simply not true. Killer cards are not good because of software which BTW can not improve wireless throughput. These cards are very good because they use new Atheros wireless chipsets.

    Exactly, Atheros has some rather crappy chipsets but their higher end models are very good. The intels with non integrated bluetooth and the best Atheros are pretty much on par with each other in windows. The killer software is supposed to help with latency, not transfer speed, but even then there isn't much of a difference in latency.
