Some WISPs I know moved customers from 20 megabit/s wireless to 500 megabit fiber. Total usage in that subdivision changed about 5%. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Thomas" <mike@mtcc.com> To: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Friday, December 25, 2020 1:27:39 PM Subject: Re: [External] Re: 10g residential CPE On 12/25/20 11:04 AM, Mark Tinka wrote: On 12/25/20 20:10, Hunter Fuller via NANOG wrote: <blockquote> It would meet some customers’ needs because multiple people could use 1G of service at a time.

I know this sounds like "nobody needs more than 640k", but how can household possibly need a gig let alone 10g? I'm still on 25mbs DSL, have cut the cord so all tv, etc is over the net. If I really cared and wanted 4k I could probably upgrade to a 50mbs service and be fine. Admittedly it's just the two of us here, but throw in a couple of kids and I still don't see how ~100mbs isn't sufficient let alone 1 or 10G. Am I missing something really stupid? Mike
