    I’m one of the few. I had 40 Gb/s-capable Category 8 cables installed in my walls, and I’m building a 10 Gb/s router out of a PC. I can easily upgrade it to a 40 Gb/s router by dropping a hundred on a new NIC.

        If you’re an American you’ve already subsidized fiber infrastructure but the private telecoms just pocketed the money

          Yeah I’m sure that money 25 years ago would have got us to 25G 🙄

            Does Comcast pay you to be an asshole on the internet?
