I wanted to upgrade portions of my home network to multigig because Comcast is giving us 1.4Gbps and I wanted to use it. At least for me, 2.5 switches were way to expensive so I ended up with used Intel 10G cards connected with DACs to a cheap 5 port Mikrotik 10G switch. One 10GBase-T RJ45 SFP+ hooks into the modem.

- zrail 5y agoIt's generally around 35-40Mbps upstream and between 600 and 1.2Gbps observed downstream, depending on the time of day. I would also very much rather have a symmetric connection than what I have now. We are within range of a fiber tap for Comcast's 3Gbps symmetric ftth service but construction costs are too high right now for them to do it. I keep asking every six months regardless. There's no other game in town as far as I can tell. Comcast Business will run a 100Mbps symmetric fiber for ~$750/mo, maybe that would be a thing to do to get fiber in the door and then switch back to residential after the contract earns out.
