Upgrading the house from DSL to Fiber

[bradbn4]

You are right about who gets the bandwidth - often it is the first person who wins...but I was going with simple math for the example on choke points
For UDP style communication; things get dirty. Point to Point no such issues, assuming that the switch is up to the task.

Right now I have a 10G switch hooking the NAS hardware as the first end of my 10G backbone. The switch has 4 SPF+ ports along with some 1G ports which are used for the NAS.
For me the load for my network is to / from the NAS from internal network so that received my first set of hardware upgrades.

I literally moved my equipment from my apartment when we moved (comcast) and just plugged in the routers to the ISP fiber gateway and fired it up. Didn't change a thing, except knocking down the radios in the ISP gateway.

We both work from home, so loads of video calls, my TV streams all day, and we stream constantly off work. On 200mbps.
You'll usually notice that the fiber stuff doesn't sag the speed down as much as the cable when you load it up.

Sounds like you have the fiber stuff sorted out.

For 99.99% of all home networks, there is absolutely ZERO need for 10gbps.

IMHO, for 95% of home networks there's no need for anything above 100Mbps!

I'm sorry but, uh, do you know what the Internet was made for???
As well as there will ALWAYS be a need for MORE SPEED!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of this...

I'm in the 5% that gets PO when my upload is only 12Mbps. I can download multiple DVD sized ISO files (OS, patches, etc.) hella fast with 450Mbps but pushing them up to client systems when there's no other options is too slow.
