It was exceptionally good, before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon Now there's so much stuff around it's becoming annoying.

5.8GHz certainly won't penetrate as well as 2.4GHz, which in itself doesn't go through much, but the wood and plasterboard construction of the very small house I have is fairly RF-transparent, at least internally. My 5.8GHz video senders, for instance, work from anywhere to anywhere in the house on less than 10mW with perfect picture quality. I'm not too fussed if it doesn't go very far outside.
