Man, and I thought I was cool for getting my home configured for 10 gigabits.

It wasn't too hard or expensive to get used 10 gigabit cards for my router and server. It was a bit pricier to get a used Thunderbolt 10 gigabit adapter for my Mac, but still not prohibitive.

I thought I was really future-proofing by making my house 10 gigabit compatible when I only have 2 gigabit internet, but if I have to worry about 25 gigabit internet everywhere I think I think I give up!

The cool thing about fibre is that it is way more future-proof than good old copper.

By the way, I also went for a Thunderbolt enclosure and network card for Mac. It is a bit pricy (the enclosure costs way more than yet another ConnectX).
