It&#x27;s great that internet companies are pushing speeds up, but networking hardware to fully use 10G speeds isn&#x27;t cheap. Unless I missed something, 10G ethernet NICs are $200+, and all the 10G routers are $1,000+ enterprise hardware.<p>On the other hand, if you find that 1gig is too slow and can afford a $300&#x2F;month bill for something faster, you probably can afford the requisite hardware.
