We already have private 100gbps in Australia and our public network just trialled it last year so rollout is expected this year there as well.

Why is anyone celebrating 50gbps? I can’t imagine Australia is anywhere near leading here.

This would be for a business, surely? I can’t imagine any individual having a use case for those speeds.

I can get 8 gigabit symmetrical if I want to, but I don’t.

It’s up to the ISPs what plans they sell. But cost wise it would be so prohibitive that only a business would buy it for the first few years for sure.

Not only that, but what’s the use case? Who on earth is slinging that much data around?

Small time server admins?

Who would have a server like that actually in their house?

Linus Tech Tips, a company that films multiple hours of 4k or higher content every day, which is uploaded to an offsite backup, as well as uploading edited videos to multiple platforms, made a big deal about having a 10 gigabit Internet connection.

LTT are also a bunch of loonie toon characters cosplaying as techies who lost all their data multiple times to malpractice. I’d hardly uplift them as a banner case.
