[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1865293, member: 396914"] You don't really need gigabit. The Wall Street Journal recently did a study of use of bandwidth and discovered that an "average" user who has 8-10 devices in the home, streams movies on two of them and music on another two, plus two folks surfing the 'net, needed somewhere around 35-40Mbps to do all of that with no issues. I'm only at what I am because my provider has two tiers for upload: 10 or 35, nothing else. So I get gigabit down to get my 35 up.
