I was thinking about this and it is very expensive. And do I need 10G really? I do not think so. I did calculated few things when I was thinking about 10G and most probably I will not saturate 1G for few years.
And with phones ans laptops mostly WiFi is used anyways.
So can I ask you what is the advantage for using 10G equipment in your case? Even something really dull like network card costs around 100€.
- bhouston 2y ago10G is awesome for (1) downloading steam games - many are +50GB these days, (2) downloading Ollama models, (3) downloading ISOs, (4) downloading app/OS updates and (5) I have a NAS also on the 10G network for media backups. I have symmetric 3Gbps fibre to the home via Bell Canada and it reports 4.5Gbps via fast.com.

- hnuser123456 2y agoIf I get this new job I'm definitely upgrading everything to 10G. My PCIe5 SSD can do 14 GB/s, or about 112 gbit/sec. Did some research. 10gbe cards are about $30, 100gbe qsfp28 cards are about $300, 100gbit 100m transciever about $100.
- thedrbrian 2y agoI’ve got Virgin cable and can pull 6Gb a minute from fast.com. Your hypothetical 50Gb steam game would take a whole 9 minutes assuming steam can saturate my connection. So that’s like enough time to hit start download , make a brew and come back to the pc. Why bother.
