Why was Gig Ethernet copper better than Gig Ethernet?
What was Gig Ethernet run on if not copper wire?

Certain aspects of the internet doesn’t have the shit regulated out of it. Hence the exponential growth. Lawmakers in all actually have really no idea what their even looking at. Much less how to regulate it.
Now if cars, aviation and other things didn’t have regulators fucking constantly with them. We would have flying cars and moon bases. |

Quoted: I’ve been doing networking for 30 years. It still blows my mind. I build a 5-10 million dollar data center LAN. 5 years later it’s worthless and we fork lift upgrade the whole damn thing. Rinse repeat all over the data centers. 5 years. That’s about the best you can get out of network gear before a rip and replace the whole damn thing. 2000 - wow! Gig Ethernet 2005 - wow! Gig Ethernet copper 2007 - wow! 10 gig 2013 - wow! High density line rate 10 gig, 40g is here 2017 - wow! 40g is cheap, 100gig is now the norm 2021 - wow! A 100 gig wan link isn’t a big deal. I can do 32x100g ports at line rate. The whole “cloud” thing was tried back in early 2000s as application service providers. With this kind of bandwidth it’s not a problem. Come work for the government! I left the base infrastructure upgrade team, only switch we had approved was the 3850..... Which was EOL but it's ok cause it's not EOS yet.... |

When I went to college in 2004, my brand new laptop had a gigabit ethernet port.
Right now in 2001 my work desktop (an Optiplex 7060, just a few years old with a 6-core i7 and 32GB of RAM) has....a gigabit ethernet port. Yeah, that's some real progress.  Granted, my work laptop (16" 2019 MBP) has four Thunderbolt 3 ports at 40Gb/s. ----------------------------- The school district where I work, with ~80k users, has a single 10Gb/s internet pipe.  All our 100+ schools come back to one location (each at 1Gb/s) and connect to the internet from there.It has been pegged at 100% for the past ~2-weeks when school is in session due to a big ChromeOS update on our 50k Chromebooks.  Thankfully we just set that to stagger updates, which helped a bit.In a few days we're doubling our internet connection to 20Gb/s, and eventually to 40Gb/s, with all our schools and internal datacenter infrastructure at 10Gb/s. I'm sure out in the real world where cutting-edge stuff is commonplace, networking equipment advances quickly. But that isn't the case everywhere. Hell we still have some Dell desktops from 2008-2009 chugging along.

Because not only do they pay bottom barrel for network architects, they think they know how to build networks. The worst networks I’ve ever seen are public sector. So much so I refuse to deal with them. What’s crazy is the state ran all the fiber (they can do it, they’re gov) and won’t pay for competent people or gear to use it. |

It sucks because a lot of enterprises don't upgrade the entire datacenter in one shot. So even a reasonably well designed, well maintained, and well funded network will have a bottleneck somewhere and won't be able to sustain its top speed "from door to core". Especially once you start adding the security stack inline with failovers.
Something, somewhere, will be cheap or old. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Copper is/was better/faster than fiber? Shorter range, but much lower latency in many cases. Copper SFP+ to copper SFP+ just carries the native signal all the way through, instead of converting to optical then back to electrical. It's not much, but it can become significant when you're using it as an effective backplane, for things like storage. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You probably were talking to the residential side of the house. I promise they have a wholesale division who is delivering things like 1G/10G fiber services to every cell tower you see. If you were a legit business and ready to sped the $1500-3k/mo plus paying for a portion of the up front fiber build out cost to your house, they'd talk. We're about 5 miles from the closest cell tower. We always have dropped calls, failure to connect. Sometimes text messages come in hours later than they were sent. We can barely get 1 bar of 4G service. Most of the time our phones go into 3G or 1X coverage. I'm an audio engineer. I need to upload some mixes for a guy in NYC to listen to over the weekend. I need to upload about 90GB worth of audio files (uncompressed, multitrack recording sessions). I'm going to have to go down the road to my brother in law's place who has full DSL service to do it. |

Sounds like you need a cell repeater and a slightly elevated directional antenna. |
