My ISP just upgraded us to  2GBps from our original plan of 1GBps free of charge.

However to use it I would need a MkroTik CloudCore router to team the NICs and use them as 1 connection due to the gigabit Ethernet limitation.

They finally delivered the router today and after some hours of tinkering with Intel's finicky Windows 10 drivers got  it working.

It's completely blown out of proportion.

In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

How can a Gigabit NIC in a PC output 2 Gbit in the first place?

 

Dual NIC on my PC

Teamed to the MikroTik  router

We have the option of having 2 Networks at 1gbps each from the Fiber ONT 

or using the MikroTik router/switch to bond them and make it a single connection

Hooked up my PC (2x NIC Team) and Synology NAS (2x NIC Team) to the router with the last port on the switch going to my AC87U.

Yay for new internet. We actually got up to 35 down, but I've noticed it go be a little faster then that (like it is now)

I guess though getting bright house will put us on Time Warner's network though (which makes sense, as time warner owns bright house..)

 

For my 4G (Verizon) connection, Its something around 35 Mbps at its peak, iirc.

Intel i5-6600k (Cooled by a 212 evo) - Asus Z170-A - Asus Dual OC GTX 1060 - NZXT S340 - WD 1TB (Getting SSD this month, hopefully) - 8GB DDR4-2400

LG G4 - Asus Zenwatch 2

In Montreal, we seem to be locked to 10 Mbps upload on residential plans but I get 5 Mbps more download speed with powerline or Ethernet.
