Honestly even 1GbE would have been a nice upgrade after being on 400/50 cable for more than a decade.
But the ISP was like you can have 3GbE for $10 more... and got seduced.
My soon to be 40 year old ass doesn't want a Mustang or a sports car, but I do want a fully functional Darth Vader costume and lightning speeeeeed Internet please.
I could serve 20x 4K remuxes to my Plex users and still not come close to saturate a 3Gbit link, that's just cray cray.
I think I will settle on a 2.5Gbe NIC in the PC for now and just run a Cat6 cable eventually. Some drywall will have to come off but its not a terrible job.

Is the Mikrotik crs317-1g-16s+ a good choice?
