    I don’t disagree with that. There is almost no benefit to having residential Internet go beyond even 2Gb. Most people don’t realize that or are not shown why and so immediately figure that a bigger number means better experience. I use a 10Mb LAN connection to my Giagabit router at home and the only time I really suffer is when downloading huge files but I end up doing so in the background anyway…

      Is that a 10BASE-T connect over two pairs of twisted pair? But even then you’d naively expect Fast Ethernet 100 Mb/s at least. I’m curious what it’s only 10, can you tell us?

        I’m afraid I use PoE due to lack of cabling at current residence and me being lazy and not buying a WiFi adapter for my desktop PC even though that would probably solve that problem… I’m not high maintenance enough to purchase it tbh. 😂
