I have 1Gbps business internet but my Imac can't get it so I had to get an Anker 2.5Gbps to ThunderBolt 3 adapter so I can get the full 1000/1000
You got me at so people don’t have to talk to each other 😂
I have Xfinity and run at 1.2 gb wired 600 mb wireless Its fast now I can only imagine
Hey as of now I am using my all built in router and modem from optimum to connect to my Playstation. Is it better to buy my own router and connect the optimum router to my gaming router and which cat type would be best since I have 1g internet speed.
I have fiber. ISPs ONLY offer 1 Gbps.
The Internet is only as fast as the ISP. And that across the board is 1 Gbps.
Why not use MoCA (coax), instead of Ethernet cable.
Is it just me or do guys named Ben have way too much power.
Good thing i bought all cat 8 last time I was running ethernet cables haha
In my country 10 GB will launch next year for around 12 dollars a month

Meanwhile 2021 my small router I'm using to my pc is Cat8 cable😂
Uhh I just need 75Mbps I'm good
Must be nice, it's a good day for my internet when it gets above 500kbs
I don't know where there is 2.5 Gbps, here in Germany where I live there is only a 1 Gbps line from our Internet service providers. I also don't have any fiber optics on or in the house.
In the UK the best plan is 1gbps
There's one problem with the cable argument, and that's Cat 6 cables have become the norm. You can look and look but you're very very unlikely to find Cat 5e for sale anymore and if you do chances are it's actually more expensive than Cat 6. From my own experiences I had shopping for them.
cat5e can do 10Gb-p/s, ive seen it. in a radio uninterferance area at 200 feet or less. if you cannot get the entire data speed you pay for from your isp then yes get cat6 or 6a. but you really do not need it unless you have a home server and edit over the network. or maybe you own a company and use company funds to run the good cable then do it. for most people in a simple setting you really do not need it. all i do is surfe the net and stream on some tv's. my internet isp speed is only 200Mb so why would i worry about 10Gb? maybe if i ever get a 10Gb internet speed then i will upgrade. i own a 4 bedroom house and 2 living rooms. i ran cat5e to all bedrooms and living rooms
I always trust Linus to inform me.
Ethernet =! Internet
just re-did in cat-8… I mean, future proof and all, right? 🙂
I'm hearing some negative reviews for faster ethernet Lan speeds. in the US the average speed is around 250 Mbps. but in Israel, the average standard speed is 500 MPs. if you want higher speeds you can get 2 Gps. and I've tried it. at this point, there Is no real benefit to it.. 500 MPs is more than enough. so even you have a 1 Gbs ethernet card. you'll be fine for a long time.
1 gbps is enough for everything's if y afford 1gbps plan
2.5 less useless due to less consumption and low lag but still y neeed 2.5 plan
This Guy Looks Like Linus Tech Tips, Like WHAT?
The actual tech Mecca is no longer South Korea or Japan, it’s Switzerland.
People this is not about internet speeds (WAN), this is about local network speeds (LAN).
Stop with this: My country only offers XMbps…
Your ads suck bro
Spent hours looking for a video that explained this, and you did it in style! For the love of god! THANK YOU! You're awesome sir! Keep up the good work!
why not just put fiber in every building and connect the last few feet fiber to ethernet
how can I invest in BTC/ETH in Gemini using my Roth IRA funds, do I need an LLC or a 3rd party for that?
I hope Linus does a Cat 8 cable video now
I got a 2.5gb router after 1gb, now I'm not upgrading till 1tb connections come out, which will happen exactly in 25 years. Which I should hopefully be retired to enjoy my 32K with 32bit ultra HDR movies. 😀
"who supplied you with this information?,
"we talked to Ben… Benson."
"..and who else?"
"Ben…Hacker."
"You're going to jail."
Wow the US is so slow in EU the have 1Gbps internet since 2000 and its only $9.95 and the have upgrade to 15,2Gbps
i was so excited for this. turns out my wifi speed is 50mbps.
Linus: your internet is going to get faster
Comentários: let's make fun of it repeating the same formula
I have 400Mbps but my pc only download 50Mbps … help?
Gigabit? Thought was gigabyte
I think you mean, my INTRAnet is about to get faster. The internet will continue to be stymied by regional monopolies, likely for decades to come.
