@Pavor 1Gbps means each bit takes 1.0×10^−9 seconds + latency to transfer. 2.5Gbps takes 4.0×10^-10 sec + latency. So yes, your packets do in fact arrive faster however the latency is multiple magnitudes larger so its effects won't be observed but it is there.
@Voltaic Fire Well... we have some companies that are willing to put Fibre down but our town council refuses and make up all kinds of excuses (like the company not wanting to comply with regulations on opening the street and moving the ground... while the roads and sidewalks around our house would literally be opened a few weeks later to replace the already existing coax cable)... I have been working with a group of 15 IT people (with me that makes 16) and we had *finally* managed to get the town council to start a test "to see if it'll be of any benefit to the people"... But of course, instead of testing it on the blocks that actually would benefit from it (where the younger families and a lot of IT crowd just so happen to live in this town)... they decided to choose the worst possible two blocks: - The one with pretty much only elderly people - The one with people that just can't afford to use it (the people that are already happy they have a roof above their head and bread on the plate) Some 500iq plays they make so they don't have to spend more money to put it down. Right now, here where I live, you have to pay around 80 euros a month (about 90USD) for a 200/20 connection that is fairly janky... My friend, living pretty much in the middle of nowhere has a 1000/1000 connection that costs him only 40 euros a month (about 45USD)... Meanwhile, our council is completely surprised that *somehow* the younger people start moving away (and this town really is a nice location when it comes to access to the bigger city next door, Arnhem)
In my city they started to install fiber optics a year ago, up until now the fiber optic survive is only available for about 1/7 of my city, fortunately I live in one of the streets that can access fiber optics so I pay 30$ a month for a 500mb download 50mb upload internet. Just today they installed fiber optics near my school so that's good because that means they are going to make it available to much more people .

I had to get a Comcast technician to my house a few days ago because of network noise from the cables. The house cables need to be changed to the cat6a, which now makes sense. Originally when I moved in, they have to check the house wiring if no internet from any company over 2 years. For less then 100ft, I can change the Coaxial cabling to the cat6a for less then $50 since they changed the cabling for me for free from the outside pole to the house portion at least. So overall, Comcast is slowly getting personal housing set up with new wiring. Thank you Techquickie for my wondering why I had to get new cabling done.

Putting in new ethernet cables in an old house is a pain. The original holes you slid the ends through were filled with 15 year old calk to keep the bugs from slipping in. Now you gotta drill that out and redo it. When my family cut the cable (tv) I remember having to remove all the coax and replace it with ethernet to make the Rokus work more reliably. It was frustrating enough I almost gave up and said "Stick with wifi mother!". lol

Yeah, I was tempted to do this, was unlucky as price drops only happened a few months later to make it on par/cheaper for 50m. Might still do it for the entertainment house so I can wire directly to main switch instead, would be 120m about, but then could retire the daisy chaining I'm currently doing. So much equipment, so little time and money.
...and everyone called me crazy when I insisted on Cat6 in all my walls 12 years ago. Now I am super happy I ignored everyone's advice that 5e was good enough.
Hey Linus, you should do an episode on FPGAs / Hardware design! Also thanks for making such great content, it helped inspire me to pursue CE as a career and to launch my own small business last summer.
You guys should do a techquickie video explaining MOCA networks, And how you can use existing coax cable in older homes to expand your Ethernet connections.
the standard for cat 6a only allows for 90 meters. the entire system from switch to work space is 100 meters. while you are correct i feel this was still misleading. if you where to build out a 100 meter from patch panel to workspace you wouldn't see these results. when you add a patch cord to your switch.
@@Anonymous-df8it I'm in Southern Italy, actually in the past few years there's been a massive development in internet technologies here, I now have a 1 Gbps fiber optic line, and will shortly switch to 2.5 Gbps

You got 50. Lucky 20 mb more than me And i dont have cable to my room only wifi with at its best 14 mbps We could have gigabit but my mom does not wanna pay the extra bill.
Recently found out a new company is rolling out 10Gbps and 100Gbps in my city. Still haven't managed to come up with an excuse to upgrade to 10Gbps hahaha
Spent hours looking for a video that explained this, and you did it in style! For the love of god! THANK YOU! You're awesome sir! Keep up the good work!
It used to take me a full day to download big games and updates, until I first experienced the might of cable and I thought it was so amazing that nobody could need internet that fast. Now I'm on 15-25Mbps NBN depending on the time of day (Best available in my suburb thanks to the government gimping our infrastructure) and with the size of games increasing it once again requires a full overnight download. Even if 2.5Gbps is overkill, it's much better to have infrastructure that exceeds your needs than be held back. Plus even for people with average speeds, 2.5G ethernet can benefit content creators or those with in-home networked archival storage.. Sharing game installs among housemates or editing large videos over the network for youtube productions goes much smoother with the speed to accommodate.
In Louisiana, if you live in range of a decent sized town Internet speeds range from 200 Mpbs to 1 Gpbs, but if you live outside that range in the rural countryside, you're lucky if you get 24 Mpbs. No one is going to run 10 miles of fiber for one house (and yes, in USA there are millions of people with no neighbors within 16 kilometres)
Glad that I have been able to get 1gbps in 3 states now. Starting with xfinity cable then frontier fios and now att fiber. Even have access to 5gbps at less than $200 a month
Well, it isn't that bad in Germany anymore. In 2019 32% of all households could get a Gigabit connection. And with the new docsis generation which just got rolled out all over germany for 39€ a month the quota just hit the 50% mark. That's quite good. I got mine early 2019
@@yokan4646 Than you're part of the 50% who arn't able to geht Gigabit. I feel for you and hope it'll get better soon, but just because it's slow for some it doesn't make the availability quota for Gigabit bad in Germany. Two years ago it was still pretty bad, but a lot changed since then and we're quite good internationally compared right now.
The German installation company I work for only uses Cat7, because there is now noticable price difference to cat6 or 6a. He makes it sounds like 6A is something special.
Where is that kind of speed still economicly viable? Even in countryside I can get like 80Mbps uncapped mobile broadband for 15 € a month. In capital 1 Gbps fiber goes for the same price. Sadly more than a billion people lives on less than a dollar a day making options like above unviable. It could be possible to wire 10Gb fiber relatively inexpensively in apartment buildings. Running the equipment from DC solar PV system could reduce the cost even further since there is no need for PSU's. Cases are not necessarily required or even cases could be reused from older equipment. Crowd orders could reduce the price cause of economy of scale. Also retail packing could be avoided. MikroTik makes inexpensive sfp+ switches. I would prefer if there would be a similar open source product with higher efficiency ICs, no case, with optional rack ears or standoffs (should not be too hard to make a PCB rack mountable) minimized packaging. Ability to crowd order with a price target. Even better if designed to run on 48v PV system like the one from EPEVER.
And here I am, fairly satisfied with paying for 400 *megabits* of which I will more than likely never hit the hard cap limit, no matter what game I play or video I stream off the internet.
2.5 Gbps is a really smart move by the industry. Even as an enthusiast, hard to see the benefit of 10Gbps given the value ratio, but 2.5 works really well for me.

When building a house, always go for the highest tier possible (with reasonable pricing). You will be damned pretty soon if you dont. And changing the cabling will be awfully hard.
I used OM3. Much cheaper than Ethernet, much superior in speed, reliability, interference, easier to run being not as thick, etc. Whole house is 10Gbps LAN, with ease of upgrading to 40Gbps or 100Gbps as see fit.
@@Mike__B Fun fact: If he live like me in Germany, u can get 50Mbit/s for the same price as 16 Mbits. You just switching the Technology from ADSL to VDSL. Same Price, plus 12 Month of the 24 Month contract is even cheaper.
Hey, I would love to see a video about building a home network based on IPv6! There is a lot of potential there to reinvent your home network configuration but a lack of easily digestible knowledge out there for this new(ish) standard.
In Germany, CAT7 was standard for business installations more than 20 years ago. Funnily enough, that's what was sold as "Gigabit Ethernet" back then, but it has even more shielding than even CAT6a. It's four twisted pairs, each pair twisted slightly differently, and each pair is individually shielded in metal foil. CAT6a didn't even exist at the time. Many considered it complete overkill at the time. But, you know, it was "future proof", so we did it anyway. Our internet is utter garbage, but the inhouse networks are good for at least another ten years. My home office network installed in 1999 can handle 10Gbit/s just fine, but the outbound connection is just 40MBit/s.
I have 60meg internet and have no complaints about speed. Gaming, streaming 4K or whatever. As long as it’s working the way it should. That’s only with 2 users though.
In Hungary (at least Pest county) we also have 2000 Mbit/s internet and it’s awesome. I live in Pilisborosjenő which is a small village (only 2000 people live here) near Budapest (Hungary’s capital) and it’s really fast. 4G LTE is also very good, around 100-150 Mbit/s in Budapest and around 40-60 Mbit/s where I live.

Yeah, I was tempted to do this, was unlucky as price drops only happened a few months later to make it on par/cheaper for 50m. Might still do it for the entertainment house so I can wire directly to main switch instead, would be 120m about, but then could retire the daisy chaining I'm currently doing.
So much equipment, so little time and money.
...and everyone called me crazy when I insisted on Cat6 in all my walls 12 years ago. Now I am super happy I ignored everyone's advice that 5e was good enough.
If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough. - Content Creator
Outside of very few industries and even fewer home users, nobody needs faster than 1gbps connection.
Hey Linus, you should do an episode on FPGAs / Hardware design! Also thanks for making such great content, it helped inspire me to pursue CE as a career and to launch my own small business last summer.
I got 300mbps upload and download and I'm pretty happy with that. No complaints for 20 years.

Cool! So I can look forward to this technology making its way to Australia in the next 50 years or so.
It ain't cheap running fiber to Australia.
If you can run 2.5Gb/s ethernet using a 1Gb/s cable, does that also mean it works the same for ethernet ports? Just curious.
Yes it does. Ports are integral part of the whole network setup and should be rated for Cat 5/5e or better as a cables are.

the standard for cat 6a only allows for 90 meters. the entire system from switch to work space is 100 meters. while you are correct i feel this was still misleading. if you where to build out a 100 meter from patch panel to workspace you wouldn't see these results. when you add a patch cord to your switch.

“Your internet is about to get faster!”
My internet: “2 Mbps, take it or leave it”
I can't even use up my 500Mbps internet why do I need 2.5Gbps
Recently found out a new company is rolling out 10Gbps and 100Gbps in my city. Still haven't managed to come up with an excuse to upgrade to 10Gbps hahaha
Spent hours looking for a video that explained this, and you did it in style! For the love of god! THANK YOU! You're awesome sir! Keep up the good work!
I thought 40mbs was fast. How does anyone have anything fast enough to need this?
It used to take me a full day to download big games and updates, until I first experienced the might of cable and I thought it was so amazing that nobody could need internet that fast.
Now I'm on 15-25Mbps NBN depending on the time of day (Best available in my suburb thanks to the government gimping our infrastructure) and with the size of games increasing it once again requires a full overnight download.
Even if 2.5Gbps is overkill, it's much better to have infrastructure that exceeds your needs than be held back.
Plus even for people with average speeds, 2.5G ethernet can benefit content creators or those with in-home networked archival storage.. Sharing game installs among housemates or editing large videos over the network for youtube productions goes much smoother with the speed to accommodate.
@@MotoCat91 I take about an hour per 1.5 gb. Sometimes an hour per one gb. I have been downloading warzone since 4 days already.
In Louisiana, if you live in range of a decent sized town Internet speeds range from 200 Mpbs to 1 Gpbs, but if you live outside that range in the rural countryside, you're lucky if you get 24 Mpbs. No one is going to run 10 miles of fiber for one house (and yes, in USA there are millions of people with no neighbors within 16 kilometres)
"Your internet is about to get faster!" Laughs in Syria
Glad that I have been able to get 1gbps in 3 states now. Starting with xfinity cable then frontier fios and now att fiber. Even have access to 5gbps at less than $200 a month

Well, it isn't that bad in Germany anymore.
In 2019 32% of all households could get a Gigabit connection.
And with the new docsis generation which just got rolled out all over germany for 39€ a month the quota just hit the 50% mark. That's quite good.
I got mine early 2019
@@JJJT- I'm still at 16 mbps
@@yokan4646 Than you're part of the 50% who arn't able to geht Gigabit.
I feel for you and hope it'll get better soon, but just because it's slow for some it doesn't make the availability quota for Gigabit bad in Germany.
Two years ago it was still pretty bad, but a lot changed since then and we're quite good internationally compared right now.
The German installation company I work for only uses Cat7, because there is now noticable price difference to cat6 or 6a. He makes it sounds like 6A is something special.
Sounds amazing. But while I'm watching I'm sitting here with a DSL connection that gets me 8 Mbit/s.
Finally, I'm done with this 10/1mb connection! Wait...
I'm lucky if my speed ever gets to 2 Mbps..XD....

1.6 mbps download
0,9 upload
@@divoulos5758 at least the ratio is good. I get 300 Mbps down with 20 up
Where is that kind of speed still economicly viable? Even in countryside I can get like 80Mbps uncapped mobile broadband for 15 € a month. In capital 1 Gbps fiber goes for the same price.
Sadly more than a billion people lives on less than a dollar a day making options like above unviable.
It could be possible to wire 10Gb fiber relatively inexpensively in apartment buildings. Running the equipment from DC solar PV system could reduce the cost even further since there is no need for PSU's. Cases are not necessarily required or even cases could be reused from older equipment. Crowd orders could reduce the price cause of economy of scale. Also retail packing could be avoided.
MikroTik makes inexpensive sfp+ switches. I would prefer if there would be a similar open source product with higher efficiency ICs, no case, with optional rack ears or standoffs (should not be too hard to make a PCB rack mountable) minimized packaging. Ability to crowd order with a price target. Even better if designed to run on 48v PV system like the one from EPEVER.

When i did my network at home i used cat 7 cables
When building a house, always go for the highest tier possible (with reasonable pricing). You will be damned pretty soon if you dont. And changing the cabling will be awfully hard.
I used OM3. Much cheaper than Ethernet, much superior in speed, reliability, interference, easier to run being not as thick, etc. Whole house is 10Gbps LAN, with ease of upgrading to 40Gbps or 100Gbps as see fit.
Cat7 is not recognized by the TIA/EIA. Cat 6a does the same thing for less price and less faffing about with connectiors

In Germany, CAT7 was standard for business installations more than 20 years ago. Funnily enough, that's what was sold as "Gigabit Ethernet" back then, but it has even more shielding than even CAT6a. It's four twisted pairs, each pair twisted slightly differently, and each pair is individually shielded in metal foil. CAT6a didn't even exist at the time. Many considered it complete overkill at the time. But, you know, it was "future proof", so we did it anyway. Our internet is utter garbage, but the inhouse networks are good for at least another ten years. My home office network installed in 1999 can handle 10Gbit/s just fine, but the outbound connection is just 40MBit/s.
I have 60meg internet and have no complaints about speed. Gaming, streaming 4K or whatever. As long as it’s working the way it should. That’s only with 2 users though.
In Hungary (at least Pest county) we also have 2000 Mbit/s internet and it’s awesome. I live in Pilisborosjenő which is a small village (only 2000 people live here) near Budapest (Hungary’s capital) and it’s really fast. 4G LTE is also very good, around 100-150 Mbit/s in Budapest and around 40-60 Mbit/s where I live.
