I'm looking at taking the plunge into hyperfibre. My main PC is connected via ethernet to my router (ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000) on a 2.5G link, and I've tested the throughput with iperf and I get 2.36GBps max. The WAN port is 2.5G as well.

 

Voyager's website suggests at least 5G ports. Is that really necessary? I would be looking at upgrading to the 2G option.

 

Any experiences/knowledge appreciated

I am not on Hyperfibre and nor an expert but I am guessing the minimum of 5G port is to allow as much of the overhead that's eating into the bandwidth as possible.

 

So if you were to stick with the Asus with 2.5G port, on a 2G plan, I'd imagine you'd get just under 2G when you do a speed test
