I’m betting most people will only have 1gbps capable hardware and cables
@dutchkimble @schizoidman Likely true. It may be justifiable in a commercial setting but in a home? Just how many HD streams would you need to run to suck up that much bandwidth?
I get regular calls from my ISP to upgrade to a 1.5GB package (we have #Fibe in this neighborhood). No thanks - the 150Mb I’m paying for is more than enough (but then, our kids have moved out so perhaps I’m not a typical household).
I just got gigabit. These folks are getting 50?!
Damnit! I just got 20…
That’s sick. We’re getting a new fiber network in my city and we’ll top out at 10gbit. I’m probably not paying for that (would be >$200/month), but it’s nice to know it exists. Who knows, with the rate of web bloat, maybe I’ll eventually need it…
Meanwhile sitting here with 50 Mbps that costs probably more then the 50Gbps in Hong Kong
