DIY 10Gb/s internet?

Go to solution Solved by LAwLz,

OP, there is a difference between local network speeds, and your network speed out to the Internet.

You can upgrade your local network all you want, and it will be really fast. You could even set up some dual 40Gbps connections if you wanted. But as soon as your traffic leaves your own network, such as when you start downloading something from the Internet, then you will 100% be dependent on what your ISP is giving you. If you are only paying for 10Mbps, then don't expect anything over 10Mbps even if you got 40Gbps connections in your internal network.

10Gbps isn't that fast actually.

A lot of M.2 drives such as the Samsung 960 Evo can do it easily.

Now you're being pedantic.

Your provider decides your internet speed.

That would give you good network speeds.

Would it be possible to get full 10gb/s from this equipment?

 

Cat7a ethernet cables

10gb/s router

10gb/s computer ethernet port

at least 10gb/s SSD.

 

Would this suffice or do I need to buy a plan through an ISP to get 10gb/s?

I don't think you understand how networking works...

 

You need a 10 Gbps bandwidth feed. SSDs have nothing to do with internet speed...
