I just upgraded to 10GbE service from Ziply Fiber in the Seattle area:

Speedtest.net - ~9.3Gbps symmetric

iperf to Denver: ~9.3Gbps symmetric (~8 threads)

iperf to Minneapolis: ~9.3Gbps symmetric

AWS S3 Download with small files: 1.3Gbps

Usenet download: 7-9.5Gbps

Mounting my ZFS pool to an AWS instance via SMBv3 in us-west-2: 3Gbps (not clear what the limit was here)

GitHub (400MB): 1 thread 400Mbps, 16 threads: 3.3Gbps

Fedora ISO from local mirror: 1 thread: 1.4Gbps, 16 threads: 4Gbps

Will try to test Steam and such.

Well, now you're just making the rest of us jealous.

That's $53/h in data transfer costs from us-west-2... (They are so absurd.)

this one sounds interesting and definitely a writeup I would read about.

I had some media files I wanted to verify the integrity of -- I was using tdarr.io in a podman container on my local server. I then spun up an m7a.12xl spot instance, mounted my local storage to it via SMBv3. I ran tdarr on that instance, and connected it as a worker node to my home server instance. tdarr ran ffmpeg to decode every video frame to /dev/null, and reported any errors. It was able to process a few thousand FPS or about 2-3Gbps. I found some corrupted files, and was able to restore them from another backup.

There was no practical reason to do this, it cost about $100 to double my processing speed.
