10Gbps used enterprise equipment is pretty cheap on eBay. Biggest problem I’ve had is getting compatible SFP+ adapters for the NICs.
Comment on Google Fiber goes big with 20-gig plan
Polar@lemmy.ca 8 months agoJust cost me 1K to replace 3 NICs, 1 router, and 2 switches to freaking 2.5Gb.

Flexoptix reprogrammable tranceivers are a godsend for that. We use them almost exclusively at work and so do quite a few of ours customers (Universities and other places of higher educaton). But it’s probably hard to justify the cost of a reprogrammer box for a household. You can buy their transceivers pre-programmed though.

I got one of the 2.5 x 8 + 10 switches StH reviewed for like $80, and x520 nics are $20. I’m happy with it for homelab stuff!
