I live in a house nearing 20 years old, and was incredibly pleased when I moved in and realized that all the phone jacks in this house were backed by CAT5, and if I was willing to invest the time (which I am), I could have at least one Ethernet jack in each room, and a pair channeled up to the attic as well. My only regret was they stripped way more than needed and didn't leave a lot of wire available, but enough that I could terminate and add a keystone jack that will last past my needs. Or so I thought until I learned that my ISP offers 2.5GBps to the house.

Implicit QoS - each device has a max 1GBps share of the 2.5GBps connection. Most hardware can't handle more anyways.

  That's exactly how >1Gbit/s connections get sold. Hardware with multiple high-speed ports is very expensive, so typically you have 1 2.5G/10G port LAN port and all the other ports are 1G. So they say you can have multiple concurrent 1Gbit/s streams.
