I don't even have 25Gbit connection to other rooms in my own house. I'm still at 1Gbps all over.

Where are you all getting reasonably priced networking kit from? As far as I can tell it just doesn't exist...

    Reasonably priced 1Gb kit?? Should be easy to find. Heck, I picked up a 16 port no name switch missing the power adapter for 4 bucks at the thrift store.

    Netgesr stuff is still pretty good for home use, at least last i checked. Ubiquit APs aren't bad (again, last I checked).

    No, 1Gb kit is easy. I've got a couple of switches all over for that.

    Going past that? Only common one is like 2.5Gbps, maybe. Anything else is priced like you're running an Azure datacentre.

    China. India also rolled out cheap fiber.

    Right, but say it's 25Gbps, how are you going to wire your house to take advantage of that?

    Currently I've got a couple of 1Gbps 8 port switches dotted about the place. Where is the 25Gbps version of that? There's absolutely no consumer hardware at all to take advantage of this kind of speed.
