> Wow, that's pretty cool. Where is this offered?

Free in France.

> But have you invested in 5Gbps+ networking gear to actually take advantage of the offer? 10 Gbps Nics have become super affordable (~20$) by the way.

The 8/8 plan comes with a router that has WiFi 7 (theoretical max 46Gbps, but who knows in reality, it's not really out yet), an SFP+ port, and 4x2.5Gbps Ethernet ports. The one I have only has one 2.5Gbps Ethernet, so that's the Internet speed at which my home network caps out at.

If you're interested in more details, I recently finished writing an article about my home network: https://atodorov.me/2024/07/03/running-a-multi-gig-home-netw...

And yeah, 10G equipment (in terms of NICs and cables) is quite affordable, but switches still aren't really super affordable.
