I'm sure you could. However my VPS has almost no restrictions that I've ever run into. I have something like 3tb total monthly capacity (each direction) which I've never come close to using, and I've had it sustain 1gb upload and download speeds when playing around. I had gigabit fiber, but now I'm down lower than that at this location.

I went with 500 Megabit because it was $30/mo cheaper than gigabit and still faster than the cable I was replacing.
Not much point in paying for gigabit if we never came close to saturating 300Mbps. Also, gbps is the limit of my lan. My access point is even less. I am not ready to upgrade my entire infra no matter how much fun that would be.
Yeah same here. I have all of the equipment to move to 10gb I bought slowly over time, but my living situation makes it useless.
How'd you get a 10g switch for less than the price of a car? I got a used HP v1910-48g for something like $40 a while ago.
Id share more, but I don't need the public/governments knowing my network setup XD They need to guess a little.
Yeah it's older now, and it wasn't cheap. Everything else was though. Network cards were luck on marketplace, someone sold me machines with them in it, i yanked them out and resold the gear. I found a few dozen LC fiber cables at a thrift store, and a friend sold me a couple sfp ethernet adapters cheap. I'm mostly fiber though.
I envy the fiber. I built a home office in my basement 5 years ago and like an idiot I put a pair of rj45 jacks with cat6 next to every outlet without putting it in conduit so I could upgrade. Realistically I'll be fine, they are all short runs in a low noise environment. I should be able to push it well past 10g. But still... Should have used conduit.
Yeah if you could spare the extra cash, then conduit is awesome for stuff like that! Yeah for 10g the fiber is too much and gets expensive for long runs. I only need it for the servers anyway.
