These kinds of speeds are available in Switzerland because their laws state that any fiber laid down must be usable by competitors, so that ISPs must compete on service alone. I wish we had that in other countries as well.

I think it is same in Germany too. But I have a copper cable.

I just upgraded to 10GbE service from Ziply Fiber in the Seattle area: Speedtest.net - ~9.3Gbps symmetric iperf to Denver: ~9.3Gbps symmetric (~8 threads) iperf to Minneapolis: ~9.3Gbps symmetric AWS S3 Download with small files: 1.3Gbps Usenet download: 7-9.5Gbps Mounting my ZFS pool to an AWS instance via SMBv3 in us-west-2: 3Gbps (not clear what the limit was here) GitHub (400MB): 1 thread 400Mbps, 16 threads: 3.3…

>Mounting my ZFS pool to an AWS instance via SMBv3 in us-west-2: 3Gbps (not clear what the limit was here) this one sounds interesting and definitely a writeup I would read about.

I had some media files I wanted to verify the integrity of -- I was using tdarr.io in a podman container on my local server. I then spun up an m7a.12xl spot instance, mounted my local storage to it via SMBv3. I ran tdarr on that instance, and connected it as a worker node to my home server instance. tdarr ran ffmpeg to decode every video frame to /dev/null, and reported any errors. It was able to process a few thousand FPS or about 2-3Gbps. I found some corrupted files, and was able to restore them from another backup.

There was no practical reason to do this, it cost about $100 to double my processing speed.

Do yourself a favor: buy some fiber cables, two switches and connect both ends like that. This is the only way to "future proof" it (past 1 Gbps) and will avoid you pulling cables for a while - I hope.

You can make it work with 2.5GbE and maybe even 10 GbE with some luck. But looking at its current state and price I personally would agree that fiber is more future proof.

I also think that fiber (per meter) is more cost effective than copper anyways for home use, so for me it's a no-brainer

In my case, init7 defines that "fair use" is 0.5 PB per month. So that is about 40 hours until they start asking questions, I guess :) I doubt I will be any close to that.

Your account seems to be shadow banned (or not enough karma?). I vouched for this comment and your other comment so other people can read it.

Thanks.

Yeah, I have something like 12 karma or so, and the account is newly registered (a few days ago). Unfortunately, HN doesn't seems to provide any workarounds for that.
