    Plus what consumer can even support higher bandwidth? Computers are starting to come with 2.5G Ethernet, switches are coming down in price but still pretty expensive for home use (and complex), and any existing wiring is likely close to topped out.

    For anything faster, you’re all too likely to need enterprise equipment for a lot more money and a lot more complexity.

    I’ve briefly considered updating to faster internet but

    • I don’t have a rational need
    • I’d have to replace switches and wiring
    • I don’t have the time to commit
    • even building a file server that can sustain that bandwidth is a challenge
