most ISP's do not provide beyond 1000mbit yet, so why the worry about 2500mbit?
I have had really good service from PCSpecialist - in fact im away from home and commenting via my PCS laptop now.
It is more about home/home-office networking. Mid range NAS appliances now sport 2.5Gb ethernet as standard and can often be upgraded to 10Gb. Restricting a 3000+ ukp PC to 1Gb is (as Hexus rightly point out) a weakness, and will be more so in a year or two.Quote:

X570 is a touch older so it does seem slightly less common on that, to be fair, but google showed a number of keenly priced models.
It still is very limited use to a private person, especially if not using CAT7 cables and the likes, especially if you are not running a full SSD on the homeserver to be able to benefit from the speed proper.Quote:

Would rather see the full leap of 10gbit instead.
And people love WiFi... I mean it is not the most stable solution still in the world, likewise exposing the home and self to additional radiowaves.
