I'm curious what people with >1Gbps service are running for their home networks.
I'm setting up a bunch of new Unifi gear 90% of it is 1Gbps speed, this is prosumer gear too so I'm wondering where people are buying cheap 10GbE equipment.

These services tend to come with a box that'll do your NAT so you just need some dumb ports. I started with a MikroTik 4 port 10G for ~$130 to be able to connect a NAS, my main PC, and my Wi-Fi since the box it came with didn't have that many high speed ports. The rest can go into the 1G ports or on a standard 1G switch.
Since then I've picked up a cheap piece of shit 8 port 10G on Aliexpress for ~$100. Works surprisingly well.
Oh duh, yeah I guess most devices don't support/need 10Gb so why not just use 10Gb in a couple places - good point.
