How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single

it is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in economics,
going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your average
transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone care to
comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing push than
anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really cool.


You don't run it hot all day long, it's just that you don't wait forever
for things to download when you need something from the Internet.
