It&#x27;s new and <i>pointless</i> at this point for individuals.<p>Very few places will be able to stream anything to them at 10GbE. Most regular harddrives have a bandwidth substantially below that - it takes an expensive RAID or high end SSD to feed a single user at that speed....<p>For an apartment complex, though, it might be useful to take 10GbE link...<p>Even on the business side - I run racks of servers handling dozens of clients running booking services for several hundred restaurants, and we&#x27;re using tens of Mbps including really excessive amounts of regular disaster recovery syncs and backups between our two data centres.. Some companies will benefit, but most won&#x27;t get anywhere near...<p>I think this is more of the case that it doesn&#x27;t cost them that more to offer to set things up for 10GbE, since these users will mostly be limited by upstream servers that won&#x27;t send them traffic enough so their bandwidth <i>usage</i> won&#x27;t go up nearly as much as it theoretically could, so it&#x27;s part a long term view, part a competitive move to make 1Gbps or less from competitors seem too little or too expensive for what you get.
