The uptake on switching gear > 1 gbps in the home/office/smb space has been really slow. Prices don't seem to want to come down. Compared to when gigabit became available everyone switched basically overnight.
- PaulWaldman 4y agoMy recollection is that gigabit Ethernet was common on commodity PCs for several years before switching gear was accessible. Mult-gig is now only becoming available on devices and access points. This time around it does seem to be perceived by the ISPs offering faster speeds, whereas with gigabit, 100 Mbps was more than adequate for home speeds at the time gigabit came on the scene.
- spockz 4y agoI think 2.5gbe has been standard on all higher end consumer motherboards, gaming boards, and workstation boards for 5 years now. I haven’t seen them on lower end boards but really haven’t been paying attention.
