Two cities in the United States are now being offered internet with 10 gigabit/second capability, which is a major innovative upgrade when compared to the internet speed in many homes today with the average of 1 gigabit/second. Although the speed is desirable, it may not be necessary for average users. The equipment required for 10 gigabit/second capability could prove to be costly and would include completely reformatting the infrastructure of the computer and network to support the speed.
Key Takeaways:
- Ultra high speed 10 GBit/sec internet available to Salibury NC for $400 per mo. and Chatanooga TN for $299/mo.
- Special equipment will be needed to accommodate 10 GB/sec internet like 10 GB router, 10 GBit switches, 10 GBit special connections input in computer also needs to accept 10 GBit/sec internet via spcial PCI card or motherboard that natively supports it.
- You would also need a M2 SSD that connect to PCI Express 2.0×4 which supports read/write speeds of 16 Gbits/sec since most HDs have read/write speeds of 1 Gbit/sec and regular SSDs have 4 Gbits/sec.
“For most people even a 1 gigabit per second internet connection is gonna be overkill even for enthusiasts.”
