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.
