Hardware for gigabit internet
-
I missed out something important in my original post..
If you're using PPPoE, PPPoE isn't able to utilize all driver queues at high speeds using IGB, in your case, gigabit.

As far as I can tell this isn't a problem with EM drivers.

Ugh, so annoying that our NBN turned into such a political basket-case, if it hadn't, a large chunk of us would be having FTTH by now, instead of the BS "mixed services" approach we're now lumped with. Which was promised to be much faster to roll-out, & much cheaper, it has been a total fail in that regard, so why the hell didn't they just go FTTH all the way (for the most built-up areas only ofc).
Hah, yeah I heard about it all going belly up over there and it turning to "fibre to the node" instead.. what a rubbish idea..
Friend of mine living in Melbourne is a bit of a conspirator and reckons Murdoch had a lot to do with it because he was worried about streamers and didn't want his empire to come crashing down around him.
No one to blame but Liberal's Tony Abbott & his inner cohort, & their extreme opposition to everything while in opposition, worked masterfully for a while & helped his star to rise, but that whole style/approach came back to haunt him, & was ultimately his demise. And the more moderate Liberal Malcolm Turnbull just had to run with it all, & run with it he did, by birthing what TA initially conceptualised, a highly flawed system that will actually cost us more in the long run (despite their rhetoric), when we find we have to re-upgrade large sections.
But we digress, sorry.
