I’m looking at getting a 10 gigabit network switch. I only have 3 devices that could use that speed right now but I do plan on upgrading things over time.
Honestly there isn’t a lot of reason for 10G. Honestly 100M is probably fine for some people who are just browsing the web. The big think it latency as some of those old copper connections are very painful.

I would stick with 1G and be done with it
This is a community for people who have home servers. 100M is fine for a couple people just web browsing, but that’s not the topic of this discussion.
I run 10G between my desktop and my server because I can easily saturate a 1G connection doing a simple file transfer.
Yeah, 100M is a no-go for me since my ISP provides much more than 100M, and streaming full-res videos would bottleneck that pretty quick.
1G is probably fine for us, but we’ll probably go 2.5G minimum the next time I need to swap out switches, maybe 10G.
