Looked down at my ThinkPad dock to plug in a USB device and saw a 10 next to it. USB.org has specs on a 10Gbps serial bus.

Time to trash the network. I’m getting a 10Gbps 24-port USB hub. :D

    I’m frustrated that wired networking equipment faster than one gigabit is still expensive. My employer at the time upgraded to Gigabit equipment in 2016. Since then we have been on Gigabit. It’s sad to me that even today 2.5 Gbps network equipment is uncommon.

      Depends on use case. 10Gbps between switches (core, distribution, and access) is fairly commonplace and cheap. Per access to the host… only new access switches have multi-Gig ports (1,2.5,5,10Gbps). Those are expensive and are reserved for wireless APs, IME, as they service more than just a host.
