But I thought 5G was the answer? 🤣

Are there any consumer type routers on the market that can support this?

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

Even in the IT world it's not cheap, Heavily depends on stack your connecting to etc.

 

if providers drop to IPoE rather than PPPoE it becomes reasonably possible with a cheap mikrotik or x86 router build.

 

Just found this (overpriced) offering from Asus that comes with a 2.5gig port: https://www.asus.com/nz/Networking/ROG-Rapture-GT-AX11000/

That's Sir Peter Jackson (Park Place Post, Weta Digital, etc.) looked after

I'm assuming the Johnsonville extension is for @Freitasm? ;-)

Unfortunately I was mentioned as a tester and had a few phone calls with @2degreescare but that never happened at the end.

640kbps should be enough for anyone ;)

I have a family member involved with this and I can't get it and I need 10gbps for Facebook, Geekzone and YouTube😢

@MikeB4 What about cat videos?

Heh...I see what you did there!

Fun fact; my first broadband was a whopping 600kbps over cable (in the UK). It was 600kbps because they wanted to be faster than the main incumbent of the time (BT) who offered 512kbps.  As an upgrade from a 56kbps modem it was luxury!

Edit: Found a reference https://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/09/20/ntl_gatecrashes_bts_broadband_bash/

I'm partly expecting a press release from Vodafone saying they are upgrading their Cable Network to 10gig...

mine was 128k and we paid by the mb for the bandwidth we used, fortunately me and my cousin had no idea what were were doing on the internet and just used it to play quake 1 multiplayer and chat on icq so it never really amounted to much 

We eventually upgraded to a product called jetstream or jetstart (cant remember) which included something like 500mb of data and then we discovered Napster ;-)

sadly for those sorts the trial was resi only!

Hopefully we'll see pricing for the other synchronous plans start to trickle down.. be amazing to see 100/20 replaced with 100/100 or 200/200 as the standard entry level.
