how far does a wireless BT Broadband signal go?

The nominal standard range is around 100 meters. The nominal standard is based on clear line-of-sight. If the radio signal must penetrate anything denser than open air, the range is diminished. We joke about consumer WiFi being a "3-wall solution," meaning it will only penetrate a total of 3 normal walls (a ceiling is the same as a wall) going straight through the shortest thickness of the wall before disappearing. If a wall is thicker or denser (e.g., brick) than a normal 2x4 stud partition wall, or if the signal must penetrate at an angle which increases the effective thickness of the wall, the signal is diminished that much more. Most of my freinds mount a external antenna from their wireless router in the attic, since there are usually no walls in the attic the signal just has to penatrate the floor. And they get increase signal strength this way.
Hope this helps

All radio signals carry on forever until they hit something which absorbs the energy. The signal gets weaker and weaker the further it goes, but in theory it will travel forever.

802.11 signals are rated at about 100ft (no obstructions), but interference from cordless phones, video senders, walls, metal objects, etc., that may be in the house can cut this down.
