About damn time.
We got a boost every few years from 10 to 100 to 1000. Then we just… Stopped. Stagnated. It’s understandable why, for a good long time one gigabit was all anybody needed, 100 MByte/sec is pretty good even for a NAS.
Of course then fiber ISPs got in the game, now in a lot of places you can buy 7-8gbps as a consumer product. And even multi-gig, which was supposed to ‘fix’ this, really ended up being insufficient. You could make a salad argument that multi gig was a waste of time and we should have just started moving to 10 gig.
Unfortunately, 10 gig switches still carry a significant premium. But this will start to shake that up. Sooner the better.
100MB/s are frustrating for a NAS. SSDs have been common for a decade, and the old spinning rust storage in my NAS is still faster than the network can handle?
IIRC I had like 1Mbps around early 2000 (like 2004 maybe), and the thing was that it was “always on”, no need to beep boop bzrrr use the phone line (like blocking it).

Even HDDs can max a 100mbit connection. UHD Blurray is something like 80-150mbit/a.
Ahhh. First world problems are always a great read
It’s… a technology community.
My 25 mbps isp speeds make me sad.
Australian too?
i mourn the loss of full fibre NBN
every

day
… fuck the liberals
Early 2000s say hello
