Bell Canada even offers 1.5Gbps internet and ships a router that only has 1GbE ports, so I had to jump through some hoops to remove the SFP+ from the router they gave me and get it working on my pfSense box. I'm still limited on most of my network to 1Gbps, but at least a few hardwired machines have access to the full 1.5Gbps/1.0Gbps and 10Gbps locally.
Things would be so much easier if all copper ports were at least 2.5Gbps, preferably 10Gbps.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoThat's some serious dedication! I would like to upgrade my setup to higher speeds, but the cost of 2.5/5 Gbps networking gear is very difficult to justify. My entire kubernetes cluster is cheaper, and it's much better value/investment.
- Zenst 7y agoYou could always bond a couple of 1Gbps ports together, not as elegant, but certainly something hackable with what you have perhaps and with that - cheaper and good stop gap to eek out a little bit more life.
