What are people doing that their homes need so much bandwidth? My ISP offers Gigabit and I use their cheaper, third-tier, 200 Mbps option, since I cannot conceive of a use for more.
- themoonisachees 3y agoOff-site backups is a huge one. General downloads for the people running *arr software, and corresponding upload for people sharing their Plex libraries. Here in france, I get 5Gb/700Mb for 50€ and there isn't a lower tier at the same ISP. Other ISPs would simply sell me 1Gb/700Mb for the same price, with no lower tier other than aDSL. Not that I'm complaining, but if I'm getting 5Gb, buying a router for 150€ that hits barely 1/5th of that speed (the maximum on wired this board can do is 1Gb, and I don't even have all my devices on 5GHz wifi) isn't exactly a good experience.
