Is Wireless-N worth it?

I have a simple home network setup here, 5-6 computers on SBC Yahoo ADSL(1.5mbps Download, 368kbps Upload). My question is should I get a Wireless-N router or is a Wireless-G good enough for my network? I was thinking that my ISP broadband speeds aren't that fast so getting N would be pointless. Correct me if I'm wrong please??

Wireless N will make no difference in the speed of your uplaods/downloads from the internet. If you want to sahre fiels between the computers faster, wireless N will make a difference.

RTAdams89 is absolutely correct.
Also, keep in mind, wireless N is not a standard as of yet (they're working on it) so you'll get what you pay for. Which is to say, non-standard equipment with little to no interoperability.
If you want speed on a LAN (not to mention security) then you'll want a wired solution.
