What networking gear do you use inside your home? What router? Do they terminate an actual fiber connection (SFP+) to your home or you get 10GB Ethernet?

I’m not the op, but I can recommend the Unifi link aggregation switch and cheap Mellanox connectX3 cards. They are about $20 and are amazing. Fibre runs aren’t expensive but the transceivers are so copper DAC is good for short runs (as the connectors are built in).

Thunderbolt sfp adaptors also work.

You can thank early HFT and other early customers for those juicy cheap Mellanox cards. They used to be thousands when they first came out.

Fibre transceivers are not expensive. You can get 2km 1310nm single mode 10G SFP+ modules for US$15 here: https://www.fibermall.com/sale-420055-sfp-10g-ir-1310nm-2km....

Sonic 10G rocks. I use Asus RT-AX89X router, with 2 10G ports, one input from Sonic, one output to 10G switches (Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Switch Flex XG 4-Port 10G).

Their ONT terminates to 10gb copper.

I bought a dual nic intel card off amazon (its from china) works a treat. There is an OK switch after that to get the network working...

It's going to take me. a minute to build out the rest of the network. Switches and cards are NOT cheap for 10gb. I'll probably end up running SFP+ fiber to a few places around the house and putting in a drop or 3 for some 10gbe love in other rooms.

You get a 10GbE port off the ONT.
