Right. The broadband connection is usually the slow link.
With 3Mbps broadband speed, the broadband link begins to approach the
wireless link speed, if WEP encryption is being used on the wireless.

The G stuff is pretty cheap, and usually offers WPA encryption, so there's
not much point in getting B as brand new kit now.

Also, if you have multiple wireless users, and you want to share anything
between them, you are sharing the wireless bandwidth.

That's the limiting speed of your wirless machines to the Internet,
but if you do machine-to-machine transfers on your internal network,
a faster wireless connection will be useful.
