Which bloody internet site serves you data in 10Gbps? Microsoft updates ah? :s13:

It's like Singtel coming to my place ask me why I don't recon my 1Gbps to 2Gbps and pay lesser than no-contract. Issue is after contract end, my 2Gbps line non-contract price costs more than what I'm paying at 1 Gbps non-contract now.

Then 2 Gbps phase out... come 5Gbps.... ask them which website offer me 2Gbps speed? :s13:

10Gbps Internet connection is meant to support multiple users.
Not necessarily. It is great for forming tunnels from location to location through netlink infrastructure. I haven't benchmarked stuff yet, but it is adequate for offsite NAS to NAS backups.

I never understood >1G internet connections when the max line rate on the ONR per port is 1g.

Nah. It will be the norm in 5 years.
Just that now, it's a hassle to upgrade your personal infrastructure to support the bigger pipe.

Dual ports to get 2G , 1G + 1G, but family sizes are getting smaller over time, why do we need even 1G ... a family of 3 don't even need 500Mbps.

I have over 40 devices on weekend, and 1Gbps more than suffices for me.

TVs are only at 100Mbps. My 16 port switch shows orange for TV, the rest are green. :s13: 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, is not for home users.

They also know home users don't need 2Gbps, it's all gimmicks to charge more for doing nothing.

You need a 10Gbps network interface.

I'll prefer a 1Gbps business line over a 10Gbps personal line.

Indeed. Many 30 person offices run ok on 500mbps - and we know everyone is surfing when they get the chance.

Said before. It’s a capitalist ploy to get you to part with your $$$
They know Singaporeans are fixated on numbers.

500Mbps, 1Gbps, now 2Gbps, I say home routers and mesh also don't support what. Wifi6 is not even widely used and already Wifi7 is out... 2Gbps... which Wifi network supports 2G? LOL!!!

Now simba got 300gb for $5. Gonna switch over once my eight prepaid amount used up fully πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Vs the $30+ I was paying previously, can use for other purposes πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Pretty sure my 4K movies on D+/NF is still through my TV at 100Mbps, I am using Cat6 cables from wall to my switch and Cat5E from device to wall socket.

My Dlink switch still shows 100Mbps lights (orange)

I plug my SImba into a LTE router at office, so my phones and tablet can connect and use in office.
