    I’m saying that network traffic is exploding exponentially. Sure, right now 20GbE is enough. but in two years? Four? It’s not the throughput per device that is increasing, it’s the number of networked devices. For a family (or several college students) that’s into stuff like this its possible that they’ve already reached the peak capacity of 10GbE. I do agree that it’s way too expensive though.

    That being said, I’m personally very happy running all of my stuff off of 1GbE. But then again, I don’t like IoT devices (despite working in an adjacently related field), nor do I torrent.
