Hey guys - we hope you enjoyed this little paddle into the world of 2.5G. Have you found a need/use case for it yet, or do you think a 1G connection is and will be sufficient for years to come. Let us know!

Cheers for the excellent content as always Alex, you inspired me to run a 10G fibre line from my computer to my router, just for the future-proofing, low latency lols 👍👍

Where dio I put this switch?? Do I put it in front of my router, i.e. cable from modem into switch then cable from switch int router? Or do I keep the current situation i.e. cable from modem into router and then cable from router into simple netgear unmanaged 1gb switch? Sorry for the probably dumb question.

why dont you just change the switches in the loft to multi gig switches, much simpler. Also tidy all your wiring up, its a mess

For every residential we do, we go to 2.5G, and for businesses, we go straight to 10G internal. We use 10Gtek 10GBase-SR SFP+ LC transceivers for the 10G (fiber) and the 10Gtek SFP+ to RJ45 transceivers for ethernet. Although most don't ever get that speed because their computers are stuck at 1G, but we future-proof them for not much money.

No, I will be skipping 2.5G and going straight to 10G on the next upgrade. We have 10G internet for €25 here in Spain.

If you dont want a bottle neck in speed you should go 10 gig to 10 gig and then use your 2.5 ethernet ports for 2.5 speeds then you eliminate losing your network speed while using more than 2 device on the small switch

Shouldve Bought a 10 Gig transceiver for the little switch aswell to eliminate the bottleneck

To be more technical, it's an SPF+ module with the sole function to act as a SFP+ to RJ45 media converter. Both the fiber side and copper side will use Ethernet. In fact, coaxial cable was the original cable used for 10BASE5 Ethernet.

Honestly, 2.5GbE is a waste of time and money. Anyone who genuinely needs more than 1GbE should just go directly to 10GbE. 2.5GbE has NEVER been a standard, most definitely not an enterprise standard; as a result it rarely plays well with 10GbE equipment (especially enterprise equipment). Also, 2.5GbE runs far hotter than 10GbE. 2.5GbE is nothing but a "pro-sumer" gimmick, especially given how cheap good 10GbE equipment has become. With 10GbE you can edit videos directly off a NAS, at 2.5GbE (assuming you can get it to play nice, or that you only have crappy non-enterprise equipment) you simply can't edit videos directly off a NAS as the link speed is too low. The money people waste on 2.5GbE and then going to 10GbE would give them a very nice 10GbE setup in the first place with all enterprise equipment and they'd still have money left over. Its a case of "just spend the money on the correct stuff and do the job once because its cheaper than doing the job twice because 2.5GbE is junk".

Not really doubling your internet speed though is it. 2.5G is sick though, my MacBook only has a 256GB SSD so I keep most of my stuff on an unraid server...with 2.5G it just feels like local storage.

Question! Our home WiFi gets some good speed on fibre 60-70mbps… however on our Work laptops often drop WiFi connection despite the internet itself not always dropping at same time. Provider has assessed and cannot see any problems with the line or connection .. all other devices are fine and does not have any consistency of time of day for drop outs etc. Only seems to happen when on MS teams video calls (have already cleared cache - reset app, used web browser etc). Any help appreciated as we are at a loss and would have to pay early termination fee to switch provider £££

I imagine you have already visited MS forums and tried the innumerable "fixes" in fluff posts that never actually get anyone any closer to solving anything. I won't either, but I can tell you some definite ways to get closer. First, experiment with the work laptops using a wired connection. If it works better, you have discovered that there is an analog communication issue involving specifically the wifi link between the router and the laptops. Make sure there are minimal physical obstructions between them. If you are using the ISP's modem/router it could be that it is just junk and you would benefit from buying your own high performance router and using the ISP's unit as purely a modem. Also make sure the laptops themselves have wifi cards that are fairly recent, or you may need a higher performance USB one to aid the connection as well. Good luck.

I am forever fascinated by the difference between British and American names for things. For the Brits loft is the same as the American attic. The British lounge is what Americans call either family room or living room. For Americans loft would be for instance a large room at the top of landing of the stairs that overlooks via a banister down on the rest of the house. For Americans lounge is the bar area of a hotel restaurant. Endlessly fascinating!

Nice to see 2.5gb becoming more consumer level, it might be worth getting another SFP 10gig adaptor for the switch and testing to see if you can achieve 5gb / 10gb to the top floor via existing Ethernet - then you’re 2.5gb ports would be less saturated with whatever other devices you have there! Interested to see how basic cat 6 cable copes with speeds above 2.5gb

2.5GbE has always been consumer - its never been an enterprise standard and its never been used in industry. Its purely a way to flow overpriced equipment to the public who don't know about 10GbE, etc..
