Finally, some affordable 10GbE
You're viewing a single thread.
but home Internet is still stuck at Gigabit speeds.... and only in some cases are they maybe letting you go to 2 Gb. Wasn't there that post floating around lemmy a while ago about how China can potentially give everyone like 5Gb for home or something? Can't find it now but swore it was here....
I think 10GbE is more intended for local applications than for internet. Say, you have a NAS with a RAID array of nvme drives for video editing purposes that you want to access from a few workstations.
Even the other day I was quite happy to have 2.5GbE when I installed my new gaming PC, and steam was able to pull all my games directly from my old computer rather than downloading them over the internet again.
Anyway, LAN speeds have always been an order of magnitude higher than common internet speeds, so I don't see the issue.
The China article was true that they launched the service, but bullshit they are the fastest.
Plenty of other countries are running 10GB and faster services you can get to your home.
Sweden for example
ATT Fiber offers 5G for residential, though I've seen people posting speedtests of 10G speeds which I'm not sure how they got because it was on the DIY fiber ONT discord lol
10 Gb connections are widely available in Europe for very reasonable prices.
