I'm betting most people will only have 1gbps capable hardware and cables
@dutchkimble @schizoidman Likely true. It may be justifiable in a commercial setting but in a home? Just how many HD streams would you need to run to suck up that much bandwidth?
I get regular calls from my ISP to upgrade to a 1.5GB package (we have #Fibe in this neighborhood). No thanks - the 150Mb I'm paying for is more than enough (but then, our kids have moved out so perhaps I'm not a typical household).
Yeah true you don't need that, I share a gig between 8 people at home and am more than happy
