Upgrading the house from DSL to Fiber

"Your Internet is available via an Ethernet port on the service gateway provided by StratusIQ. "
"This means there is no modem required! "

Makes it sound like your router/firewall just plugs into their gateway device.

Bingo, that's what I was missing. So they don't expect you to come up with the fiber interface, they give that to you and you just have to deal with an RJ45 connection.

Thanks! (you too 00tec)

BTW, they do have a Gigabit-capable router, but since they're running just fine (outages aside) on their current 20-30MBps DSL I've told 'em to only go for 100MBps.

Heaviest load is probably two streaming devices.

I literally moved my equipment from my apartment when we moved (comcast) and just plugged in the routers to the ISP fiber gateway and fired it up. Didn't change a thing, except knocking down the radios in the ISP gateway.

We both work from home, so loads of video calls, my TV streams all day, and we stream constantly off work. On 200mbps.
You'll usually notice that the fiber stuff doesn't sag the speed down as much as the cable when you load it up.

Sounds like you have the fiber stuff sorted out.

For 99.99% of all home networks, there is absolutely ZERO need for 10gbps.

IMHO, for 95% of home networks there's no need for anything above 100Mbps!

I'm sorry but, uh, do you know what the Internet was made for???
As well as there will ALWAYS be a need for MORE SPEED!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of this...

I'm in the 5% that gets PO when my upload is only 12Mbps. I can download multiple DVD sized ISO files (OS, patches, etc.) hella fast with 450Mbps but pushing them up to client systems when there's no other options is too slow.
