My main problem with it is that many people interpret the G as being Gbps. And I'm sure they are not offering 10gbps speeds.

- gorkish 3y agoIf they are offering anything above 1gbps they are probably delivering it with a "10G" technology. I have 2gbps service coming in on XGS-PON at home.
- jjeaff 3y agoWell any ISP is using a 10gig connection at some point upstream. But that doesn't mean everyone would be justified in advertising 10 gig speeds.
- BobbyTables2 3y agoBut fiber companies are actively advertising residential 10Gbps service… I don’t think people realize that 20-30Mbps is likely enough for Netflix. What are they going to do with 300-500X of THAT? Even full screen 4K Remote Desktop doesn’t need much. Sure, it’s nice to download an ISO at 400Mbps and only have to wait a couple of minutes. But how many actually do that very frequently? And yes WIFi has evolved, but how many people can actually sustain 1Gbps (or more) to the places in their house where they actually use it? Or is some USB4 10G-BaseT adapter going to save the day? I feel like a step change in hardware is coming… All sense and rationality went away a long time ago… I’d rather have 100Mps Internet at $10/month instead of 1Gbps at $100/month.

- Yizahi 3y agoBasically it is almost 10Gbps (more like 8-9) to the remote phy node. And that would be split between however many cms are connected and their utilization. So 10Gbps is only possible to a single CM at a time. Newer nodes will have 20Gbps uplink, so potentially doubling speed.
