For what I'm paying right now for 400Mb (they just bumped it to 500Mb a week ago) on Spectrum (was Time Warner), I can get 2g in rural Texas. As it is now I can't fully use a 2g connection so I will be going 1g for less than half the price I'm paying now. But I am looking to rebuild my home network to 10g as the cost has drop a bit so I don't mind spending money knowing I don't have to do it again in 4 to 5 years times.

While comcast does offer up to 1000mbps download, it costs $80/month and at Comcast the upload speed is always massively lower than download. Wired as low as 5mbps. No thanks... Comcast upload speed is so bad they don't even mention it in writing anywhere on their detailed plan info. You can only find out if you ask them directly... where as Frontier offered upload speed generally matches download speed offered.

    I appreciate this video. While these options will be less expensive, the only way we are going to see true adoption is when 2.5G ethernet is added to home and business-use routers, as well as when it is integrated into motherboards. The add on cards are much less expensive (than 10G), but I don't see many aside from enthusiasts or professionals who need it going out of their way to install the extras.

  • @rushboardtechuk
    @rushboardtechuk 4 роки тому +4

    I see a small flaw in your plan: whilst most 10Gb adapters cost twice as much as that 2.5Gb card, they are still four times as fast. I can understand users with 10+ PCs on their network would be expensive - that said, if they just had 3-4 PCs, a 10Gb card for each would likely be a better investment (less if the motherboards in some probably already have them).

    Before I retired I was the technical program manager for Intel's network products division and managed the development programs for Intel stand-alone 1G Ethernet devices (such as the I350, I210, 82576, and others). I was advocating for single, dual, and quad port 2.5G silicon about 5 years ago but there was a huge imperative to build 10GBaseT, 40G, and 100G parts and we just didn't have enough engineering staff to do it all. I think the same is likely for many of the leading developers. We liked the idea, but we couldn't make it happen unless the switch silicon guys would support the idea too. Alas, they were concentrating resources on the great Ethernet speed race and were not able to commit resources either.

    I have Bahnhof here in Sweden, but only 1000/1000 Mbps (live on the country side with FTTH IP-Onlys network) at around 60 USD/month. The 10 000 Mpbs speed is only offered by Bahnhof in their own network and one other network, Skanova (part state-company), in some areas. Bahnhof is really awesome, they offer good speeds at reasonable prices plus they are fighting the big fight for privacy on the net. Now a huge part of Sweden, both cities and on the country side has access to fiber up to 1000 Mpbs due to the state and EU putting alot of grants into building of fiber networks on the country side. In our area we have our own economic Association
    where we own the fiber network between all members and let IP-Only handle the network with an open platform with lots of ISPs to choose from. Really cheaply... :) Next step in Sweden is to upgrade networks to 10 000 Mbps but I think it will take some time to upgrade all networks due to the costs of the 10 000 Mbps-fiber optical network switches and 10 000 Mpbs fiber converters for the homes.

    I think an area overlooked is the remote esktop. As in the original Xwindows use case, the user end can be thin and video oriented, while the servce end can be a high powered server with no onboard video. Many remote protocols are limited by the load they put on the Wire.. 2.5 gig may make pairing a back end server with a video heavy desktop much easier.. Containers invite this sort of multi box system. Arm systems with USB 3 and eventually USB C have limited onboard video. X2go, for example bypasses the onboard video limitation. What happens to Firefox if the screen handling is offloaded from a low powered host to a dedicated desktop? I may see soon even aone Gigabit. Thanks

      I feel you. I used to deal with that for a few years until Spectrum bought out Time Warner Cable and we got 100 mbps a few years ago. Almost the same computer too, but it was an old Dell optiplex with a dual core Pentium processor. I still have it to this day, that PC I got a bit over 5 years ago back when I started 6th grade.
      PS: I'd personally rather deal with way slower internet than Spectrum's supposedly fast speed because they have lied in the past. It is working pretty good now but issues still arise, and they are just kind of greedy. Look up articles on Spectrul where they supposedly were going to get kicked out of western New York, and then lying to customers. You'll know what I meant by I'd rather deal with slower internet when you read up on the things that Spectrum was doing that were exposed.

    if i only have for example 5mb per seconds, does it enhance the delay time better for gaming or is it just for download n upload speed, in order to use 2.5gbit to full u gotta have 2.5gb up/down?

    Those SFP cards at 3:37 are Fibre Channel adapters, not Ethernet. You can't network computers or even access shared network attached storage using those, only connect to a SAN or direct attached storage.
