A 4K HD broadcast is 40 Mbit/s. There are just very few usecases where you need anything faster than 100Mbit, much less 1Gbit.

- kayoone 14y agoLAN file transfers with 100MBit/s are very slow, even by todays standards. I always hate to get big files from our NAS at 7-8MB/s when a proper GBit device can achieve 10x that. That isnt even shared, if 2 or more people try to get files from the thing, you can basically forget it.
- ghshephard 14y agoAbout three months ago, we had an IT maintenance event over the weekend where our phones were replaced with VoIP systems. When I came in on Monday morning, I had a brand new Polycom CX-600 on my desk, which was great - but all of a sudden, Visio, VMware, and all of the Apps that were working out of my home directory - were really, really sluggish. Not unusable, but really long lags every time I tried to open a file. Turns out the VoIP phones were now acting as switches for all the Desktops, and my Desktop had been plugged into the phone, which, you guessed it - only had a 100 Mbit interface. Moving my desktop back to my (still lit) Gigabit port returned me to my regular speedy connection. Gigabit makes a big difference. I'd hate to throw around multi-100 megabyte files on 100 megabit network connections.
