I haven't checked scientifically, but until recently I was working at home a
lot, which involved a lot of file transfers, and I would have noticed
if there was any degradation.

I did actually run a check once with an Android-based tool called
"Wifi Analyzer"
(winner of the 2012 prize for original app names) and don't recall it finding
anything untoward (though I have no idea if it would if it could).

I did have some weirdness  at one point with connections apparently timing out ,
but it turned out that was due to my wife's laptop having been set
up, unbeknownst to me, with a static IP address which  collided with
another active IP address.
