    I have fiber directly into my house. My PC is on the opposite end from the modem. This comment is a load of baloney

      And your pc is connected by fiber directly to the modem? It sounds like not, which was the point of of the parent comment. But you can’t tell me that you think this is a normal and typical use case, to install PCI-E fiber optic network card.

      Recognize that your situation is not like most people. Old apartment buildings especially will not be keen to run fibre everywhere when coax can handle gigabit speeds just fine
