Even if I used the Hub4 in Hub mode, I still wouldn't use more than 1Gbps as most of my usage would be from a single device at a time, be it Steam on my main PC or whatever is downloading on my unraid server. I guess for some, there will be multiple devices connected over separate ethernet ports without a switch inbetween each using a load of bandwidth but I'd bet that's pretty uncommon at home.

I do agree they are being cheap, but they didn't have to do an NbaseT port, an SFP+ cage would have been very cheap to have and would allow people the option of NbaseT or MMF/SMF/DAC etc.

I'm not actually sure any of the OEMs make a modem with 10GbE yet though to be honest, so it might not be VM's fault. Perhaps VM Business will come out with something better, or maybe it will be a wait for SH5.0 thing.

Honestly, the sooner Cityfibre finish digging up my town the better!
