This is a niche right now, but in a couple of years it will be a higher percentage, and I'd submit that the category of people likely to spring for a 2.2Gbit connection are far more likely to have a recent high end PC.

Mine has 2.5G, but I'm really not a fan of RJ45 over 1GBit, the 10GB core section of my home network all uses SMF SFP+ modules, the 1G segment uses Cat6 mostly for PoE (Cameras, APs). My router has 10G SFP+ WAN and LAN.
I'd have said all high end boards would have atleast 1Gbit ethernet now, ive not seen a board with 100mb ethernet in a very long time.

I have put a Realtek 2.5GB card in my PC for GB internet, the card was only £19 on sale from Amazon and it works a treat.

Thats the card im using.
