> Dirt cheap with respect to pricing only a few years ago Let's be honest, you don't buy things because they're cheaper than they used to be. You look at what you need and compare with what you have to see if the "extras" justify the purchase. I bought two used 40G cards and one used 48x10G(RJ45) + 4x40G(QSFP+) switch for ~1300E. Which is a lot less than I would have paid just a few years ago. Still 2 orders of magnitude above what most people care to pay for home use. And I'm sure this hasn't convinced you to upgrade. Regular consumers, with no particular technical inclination or passion for specialized tech probably outnumber enthusiasts 100:1. For them not having fancy features to worry about is the feature. Sure, gimme a super fast connection, who knows when I need it. But make sure it doesn't cost more or require more effort in maintaining than what I have now. > But for anyone who wants or needs to move large files or data at home I guess this is the crux of the matter. Not many do in a world of mobile and streaming. Just think of how many systems are still sold every day with drives that have no chance of being close to saturating such a pipe. I agree with your reasoning to go for it because I used the same one (only I went further because if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing). But the market does not agree, demand is still quite low since the extras don't justify the purchase for all but the early adopters who slowly drag the price down. Until I see a 10G port in a mainstream ISP router, the "revolution" will only happen in techie households.
