I have 500 Mbps internet (fiber optic) with 40+ devices on it.
I don’t see myself needing even 1 Gbps nor even close to 25 Gbps. At my enterprise, we have 900 simultaneous users to include thousands of CICD jobs, and we don’t even come close to 25 Gbps.
- beAbU 7mo agoPeople were saying the same thing about 10Mbps 15 years ago. Things change, and 25Gbps is massive future proofing for the next 50 years probably.
- firesteelrain 7mo agoMy point is I don’t even come close to the bandwidth limits. My latency is excellent. I had coax based internet and it was going down a lot. I switched to fiber about 5-6 years ago. Never went down once
- beAbU 7mo agoYes, and my point is 10 years from now when you are streaming your 16k Netflix movie while saving all you 8k cctv camera footage to the cloud you might have a different opinion about gigabit internet.
- im3w1l 7mo agoMoney has a time value. It's better to build things just before you need them than decades prior.
- himata4113 7mo agoIt's more of a "wow how could I have tolerated 500mbps" once you experience 1gbps and 10gbps.
- xxs 7mo agorealistically the only part at half a gb/s I'd care is latency. Latency is a lot more important than the throughput.

- nunez 7mo agoI'm going to disagree. I have 5Gbit FTTH and it is SO NICE to have large files download almost as quickly as pulling from an old hard drive. Used to have 1Gbit before.
