super worth it. I can go to the moon and come back within 1 minute. The bandwidth is big enough so i can also fit an elephant and bring it to the moon. now i am waiting for them to start the trial for 1Tbps, so that I can go to Mars and come back also within 1 minute.

Have you all heard of BitTorrent and understand how that worked? That's like the only app that can saturate your bandwidth at home use level ... Otherwise... Not much use for higher bandwidth...

So it's like I wear Gucci laikor but my Jeans is Giordano?
Hilarious, but that's not it.

to make it really dirt simple for you, the average home user typically does not require anything more than 1gbps. So, stop paying more than $29.90 for broadband.

i know everyone likes to think themselves of "above average". But frankly speaking, you are no more average than the next guy you see on the bus or train.

Ok, u clearly don't know how the technology works.

it doesn't require sustained 1gbps throughput for whatever you need to watch for that number of hours.
sorry i not geek like emperor hippo. also you need to learn when one is trying to be sarcastic la

Really depends on the modem max speed. If the modem is theoretically capped at 10gb per second, expect around 70%-80% actual real world speed.

1 is enough but the price wise is not good compared to 3 or 10...get a 3 with decent wifi6 routers more than enough liao..most comp or lappy dont even have 10g ethernet port, even have u are restrianed by the servers u connecting to...its just like ur maid driving a lambo to the market 4 traffic lights away.

the sales say the wifi router comes with wifi 7 and have 2 x 10 gbps port, 1 for the wan connection from the modem/ont and 1 for watever use we have but the rest of the ports are 2.5gbps.

i dont know leh.... anyway i think my mobile dont support wifi 7... :unsure:
It have many factors and choke pts to archive that 10g.

Anyway purpose of 10gbps is not for a single device to reach that. Its for all ur connected devices to share this big pipe

Big fat NO!, I hook up 10 Gbps interface with STP CAT8 cable and I was able to get 5-8 Gbps on speedtest.com then suddenly StarHub throttled to 1.5-2 Gbps.
It’s a scam, they won’t give the speed that you paid for even if they can.
