I just fail to see why we are going above 1 or 2 Gig, considering even 1 Gig is fairly uncommon for people to have.
The fastest speeds I have ever realistically seen is on my Xbox capping out at about 650, maybe 700. I think steam caps out at about 150.
I don't say this as "how could you need that much speed" but more, realistically is anything going to be able to even return those speeds especially taking into account the bottlenecks between you and those servers.
Edit: Maybe if you have several Xbox's but even so, with 2 heavy gamers we have never had to have a situation where the other was impacted by what one was doing.
- 303uru 3y agoIs there any 20G infrastructure available for the prosumer? I've got 10G connections between my a few devices at home, but most everything is capped at a 1G connection.

The switches available for "prosumer money" used to be eco-terror brodozers and super loud and fussy. I think the new mikrotiks are interesting, and if I wanted to do 40 again, I'd probably go that route with some ConnectX-3 cards.

Meanwhile I live <10km from their goddamn headquarters, am one of probably MANY people in the area with actual ideas for how to use 10 Gbps+, and I can't get more than 1.5 Gbps Crapcast. It makes zero sense.
