    If everything is constrained by your internet connection, it’s probably not worth it.

    This will help within your home network, such as with a file server or vm host, large video files. Not everyone fits those use cases

    I don’t fit those use cases either, but I want to

      I do, but honestly anything past gigabit is overkill currently. My fileserver currently works over WiFi, and 100-200mbps is still plenty fot 1 UHD stream. Faster is always better, but 2.5gbps would already be overkill for what I need, so the extra cost of 10gbps isn’t needed.

      That said, it’s feasible to get a 10gbps LAN today. Regular cat6 should be totally fine, and it’s pretty inexpensive.
