I'm not trying to be smart. I'm just wondering what if the limitations.
It will only download at 54mb if your isp provides you 54mb downloads. For instance my router is 54mb output, but my ISP only proivdes a 15mb max(i believe). The iPhone will download at speeds whatever your router and isp can provide. Its not different wifi than you would have in your computer.

So even if you have a 54mb output router, your ISP is only letting you get 1.5mb down, thus you will only get 1.5 nothing more, which isnt the greatest.(But I am an ISP speed snob sometimes). If you want mega fast downloads, get a better provider or a better package or else you will experience 3-4 movie downloads like you do now
