Dunno, I bought a new cable modem, which has 2.5gbe. Most new motherboards come with 1 or 2 2.5gbe, at least if you spend another $20-$40 over the cheapest. Even raspberry pi like widgets are coming with 2.5Gbe, like the hardkernel odroid h2+. The later has a 4 port 2.5gbe expansion card if you want a total of 6. What "non-trivial" network is blocked by using 2.5 gbps? There are transceivers that let 2.5 gbe work with 10gb ports on older/common 10Gb switches. QNAP, linksys, and trendnet have a decent number of switches in the 5-18 port range, which seem splenty for most home networks.
