While others across the industry battle it out over 10-gig claims, Google Fiber is looking to go bigger, plotting the rollout of a symmetrical 20-gig service for select residential and business cus | The service will use Nokia's 25G-PON gear and initially be available later this year as an invite-only product.
My provider recently started offering a 2gbps plan for $30 more a month. I was tempted until I thought about the money I’d need to spend on new equipment to take advantage of it. 1gbps fiber is plenty for now.
Tbf, a lot of these multi gig plans are geared to families, where more than one person could be doing high bandwidth activities. Or even just one person doing high bandwidth things doesn’t cause the other persons zoom call to stutter.
That being said, ain’t no one NEED 20gbits but by god I would enjoy it.
Ya, mine is slow rolling 2gig but it kind of fucked me up because now I want 6E mesh APs and it’s going to cost me like $500. I know I don’t need it, but the fact that I could have it is tempting. Plus I need 6E for the VR headset I also don’t have.
