Out of curiosity, do they include hardware to actually use it? When Comcast came around here trying to get people to sign up for 2Gbps they required a couple thousand up front and for you to rent a PCIe card for your PC to actually get the speed (since you needed a 10Gbps NIC), which would've been annoying. Unless you have a ton of devices, or are hosting services (does your ISP let you do that?) I don't know what I'd use it for.
Having a Linux mirror within 100 miles has been handy for me in the past though, so if you can spare the storage that would be a good idea.
- virtuallynathan 6y agoThe hardware to use it is pretty cheap these days, a 10G nic is about $13 on Ebay. A 10G switch is $200-400, and a ~10G router is now $380 from Ubiquti (will only do ~8.5Gbps right now).
- linsomniac 6y agoThey seem to be providing a 10gig copper port on the equipment they drop in, from looking at a photo of the other guys 10gig install... I don't currently have any 10gig, so I'd have to put those parts in place.
