See I don't think so, because of the physical limits and energy. I think both are peaking at the same time because while you might be able to invent new physics they are only executable in an environment of energy abundance, and peak energy happened 10 years ago. Try getting 1Gb/s to work without going crazy first! ;)

802.3ab 1000BASE-T works over all of the most common Ethernet cables and structured wiring I've thrown at it, even wiring that probably fails to meet even the loose Cat5 spec. I've not had any experiences being made crazy by it in the last decade. Some of the very old gear had interoperability issues, wouldn't auto-negotiate, etc, but that's often the case on any new "standard" tech. Nowadays, you can take the random $15 adapter, $2 cable, and $20 switch and expect it's all going to "just work" at gigabit speeds.

  What router do you use?
  - sokoloff 6y ago
    My router is an Edgerouter-X SFP, but that is only the gateway from the local network to the Internet, not the main switch. The main switching is done by a mix of Ubiquiti 8-port PoE switches and a Mikrotik central switch.

      And you can push 1Gb/s reliably over that?
      - sokoloff 6y ago
        I can push 1Gpbs everywhere on the local net. I can pull 265Mbps and push 12Mbps from/to the internet, limited by the 250/10Mbps internet plan I bought.

        I think it's my ethernet cables... just ordered cat6 we'll see!
