Yeah frankly I just hardline for 1Gbps and anything over like…I don’t know, 1TB? I just ship a drive. Anything beyond 1 or 2 requires too much effort to make work for me.

It helps that I’m an in-house video producer at a tech company and not working at a post house/on major sets anymore haha

The main current use case for this isn't people syncing their Dropboxes very fast, it's businesses and groups of users who can now all reliably each get gigabit+ speeds rather rather than slowing down when multiple people share a connection...

Sure, but I’m talking about my use case/the use case for most freelancers. We are shipping drives and transmitting footage constantly.

Hell fiber enabled me able to start charging people to send it quickly because it was cheaper than buying and shipping a drive (usually $80-$100). I just started going “I’ll have it to you in a few hours for $35” and call it a day.

How big do you think the carrier pigeon needs to be for an HDD? Carrier Albatross? Can they even be trained?
