Aside from that, it does let you self-host bandwidth intense applications, like a home media server, or you could use it to seed torrents for your favorite linux distribution.
- gh02t 4y agoI guess my point is, those bandwidth intensive applications are currently more than well covered on 1 gbps unless you have a lot of people in your house all using them simultaneously. A raw triple layer UHD Bluray absolutely tops out at 128 mbps, and are usually well under that. Seeding Linux ISOs also rarely comes anywhere close to using my 1 gbps and certainly not sustained. Emphasis on "currently." Eventually sure. And that doesn't mean I don't want 5 gbps, half the reason I asked was to see if there was some cool use I hadn't thought of.
