Is it worth upgrading to cat8 Ethernet cables ?
I'm not to sure what you mean by I'm just a clocker?

I'm asking for people's opinions.
I'm looking for a new router an thinking is it worth updating the cables at same time and seen that there's now cat 8 cables.
Thanks for the reply tho.

you will need some serious enterprise kit to support cat8 speeds -
as I said cat8 is used within data centres not for home use
I was wondering what cards support that. >25Gb is going to saturate a PCI bus, surely?
We run Gb over CAT4 under the floors at work .
PCI bus cant really support 1GB hence PCI Express cards are need to get full 1GB
as for 25GB no cards can support that as of yet (that I know of) even they do they you will need PCI Express 3 to supports that kind of speeds
So I'm not following trends around networking.
I get that the speed of the cable is higher for cat 5/6/7/8 etc... but in realistic terms how can you go faster than your router or switch if it is only a gigabit router etc... do you also have to go for faster one's too, to see any major difference?
I just done an Ookla speed test. i'm with Virgin (just broadband) and it's only 15 Mbps.................lol
Think their slowest is now 100Mbps ?
I do still use their router in modem mode as the Wifi was shite, it's then linked to a Linksysy WRT54G (sure thats rared to 300Mbps)
Any ideas on whats going on ?
Cheers
I beleive that Virgin used to work in non cabled areas, but just checked and i'm sure they moved those people to talk talk. So its not that!
Another posibility is that you've been fair usaged'd were they throttle you down for so long. Have you done some serious downloading?
Also maybe something else in the house is using the bandwidth? That router you talked about does have a section where it tells you whats using the bandwidth and when, shows a graph too!
I do run a few BTC miners, don't download hardly anything, less than 5Gb a month. I will look into the router now.
It's been this speed for years, always 15Mbps ?
yes if you want to have 25 or 40 GBs speed however Cat8 maximum length is 30 metres only so only useful for server to switch connection within a data centre
