Do we actually need beyond 1Gbps?

[stupidog]

1gbps @ $39.90

10gbps @ $29.90

which wan u will choose ?

TS is not a documentarist , so never need to review many educational documentary.

1gb or 3gb , the router also need to be able to handle la, the free one sometimes quite cui...so u cannot see the diff with or without LOAD

Ya wifi7 router can range from $100 plus to 1k plus.
Dont tell me 2 cores with 256gb ram router. Those are trash unless you use it with 1-2 people.
And not many have the money or need to buy 10g equipment

1gbps @ $39.90

10gbps @ $29.90

which wan u will choose ?

I scare i backside itchy start to upgrade all my equipment to 10g.
Mine current setup should be 2.5G router with 1G mesh. 1G NAS and Network card.

 

[hachi]

10G router $600-1k
10G switches $400
10G NAS 1k NO HD
10G network card $80

 

[buttbERry]

should be ok for normal usage ba

how to fully utilize the 10Gbps bandwidth?


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Must look at the whole communications link...

1. Connection to your home OTP must be 10Gbps. Provided by Netlink fiberoptic cable.
2. Connection from OTP to ISP set top box must be 10Gbps. Fiberoptic cable provided by ISP.
3. Connection from ISP set top box to Wifi router WAN port. WAN port must be 10Gbps port.
4. Must be at least Cat 7 Ethernet cable from set top box to Wifi router WAN port for 10Gbps. Hopefully, the Ethernet cable provided in the Wifi router box is a good quality Cat 7 cable.
5. Wired connection to laptop/PC must be minimum Cat 7 Ethernet cable. If you have old Cat 6 cables, go buy new good quality Cat 7 cables.
6. Wifi router LAN ports (usually have 4 ports) must be 10Gbps ports.
7. PC/laptop must have 10Gbps Ethernet port.

For wireless connection, 1 to 4 must still be met. Then, your Wifi router must be Wifi7 and your laptop/mobile device must also be Wifi7.

If any one of these conditions not met, you don't get 10Gbps. The communications link is only as fast as the slowest link in the chain. And this is not even the complete communications link. We are assuming the entire Internet link before it enters your home runs at the full 10Gbps. To see all the Internet hops, enter in a command prompt "tracert youtube.com" eg.

So it's not just the subscription price to consider, you have to add in all the other costs too if you are not 10Gbps ready. And you can only control what is in your home. You can't control the Internet. So if one of the links from overseas is 100Mbps, the entire communications chain is only 100Mbps. Luckily, most well known websites are usually at least 1Gbps.

i want to watch my documentaries without lag

Last time I use M1 500mpbs also no lag.

 

[oddbasket]

M1 1gbp is $36 , they let me upgrade 2.5gbp for $31. Of coz take 2.5 la

If never choose upgrade and recontract M1 1gbps is $24.90.

 

[Purplestars]

For now no, but in the future sure can use one.

Get the infrastructure ready loh.

Next time everything stream, pure VR experience.

 

[Kitaro9202]

Local 3gbps but international give u 10bmps also llst

 

[C_boliao]

it's their new infra you wan to use

Meaning? The old 1gbs is old school infra?

 

[rachoon]

Meaning? The old 1gbs is old school infra?

they eventually wan to shutdown the old network...

new infra can handle more users too

 

[C_boliao]

I’m on 10mbps now

Well, how are you enjoying wifi 7? Your devices are wifi 7 ready?

 

[OutBreak]

No. They just need your money. Greedy companies..

 

[RSKeisuke]

normal use don't need beyond 1gbps but that's the only way telco can convince you to pay more

 

[mosmos]

Nope still using the $15/mth 500mbps

 

[C_boliao]

for 3Gbps or 10 Gbps, not only your router need to upgrade, your devices wireless components also need to upgrade.

Meaning 10 Gbps :
- router need to support Wifi 7 to max the speed.
- Then your ethernet connection on your devices also need to have Wifi 7.
- then the websites you access also need to allow 10Gbps connection
- if the websites are overseas, you are still limited by the internal gateway at the ISP end.

similar for 3Gbps but Wifi 6 or wifi 6e is enuff.

Mine is 3Gbps because it is cheaper than the 1Gbps that I used to have. My meshed routers currently can support up to 1Gbps only so I was thinking of upgrading.

then did a lot of research and find out about the above. Too costly and troublesome to upgrade.
So just stick to 1Gbps set up currently.

still can access everything very fast.

I saw mesh wifi 7 routers, costing few $k.. Crazy

Depends on usage

 

[ghregular]

if u play multiplayer call of duty or even conduct zoom live enmasse u may req high speed high data throughput.
watch utube vids netflix disney dramas even mobile hotspot like mine will suffice.
