That’ll be a while, there isn’t much push yet (1gbe is still pretty fast) and you can do 2.5 if you want to push, they’re basically starting to replace 1gbe with 2.5gbe as a drop in.
WiFi kind of screwed everything because it’s 90-95% of all user clients, so if wifi can’t handle the bandwidth, the bandwidth is considered ‘commercial’ and they charge you through the nose.
16x2.5gbe with a couple of 10gbe uplinks (a couple so you can either daisy chain, or connect 1 to another switch and another to a sever with 10gbe) would be amazing - that’d handle wifi on a single port and allow multiple devices to all use their full 2.5gbe
i’ve seen a couple with 5x2.5gbe and 2xSFP+, which i guesssssss is okay

I have a few 4x2.5gbe and 2x10gbe, and I think one is 8x2.5 + 1x10gbe.
Theyll get better, networking is actually easy to sku once you get going, they’ve just enjoyed the premiums till now.
And again, wifi was considered the main connector, which is why we got 2.5gbe in the first place, it fit 802.11ac and most of ax.
