In addition to this, there are very few services that will actually feed you data at 3gbps.&lt;p&gt;Steam - ~280MB&amp;#x2F;s (2.2gbps)&lt;p&gt;Battle.net launcher - ~140MB&amp;#x2F;s (1.1gbps)&lt;p&gt;25GB Torrent with 1000+ seeders - ~70MB&amp;#x2F;s (~560mbps)&lt;p&gt;2GB iso from github - ~80MB&amp;#x2F;s  (~650mbps)&lt;p&gt;fast.com - 1.4gbps&lt;p&gt;speedtest.net - 2.7gbps (using ISPs endpoint 2ms away)&lt;p&gt;Using a download manager like IDM or jDownloader will help for http downloads, but most hosts will limit your speed even with 16 connections open.  I&amp;#x27;ve managed to see 2gbps moving data to&amp;#x2F;from servers (scp) with softether configured to use 16 connections.  The reality is with a single connection (majority of ssl transfers) you&amp;#x27;ll be limited by the sending side in almost all cases.&lt;p&gt;Overall it seems that while you can get connected and run an iperf to your ISP or multi-connection speedtest to a server hosted by your ISP or peered with your ISP, you&amp;#x27;ll be pretty much limited to &amp;lt;1gbps speeds regardless of your home network throughput.&lt;p&gt;Knowing this I would have simply went multi-gig (2.5g) for all in-home networking and saved a good chunk of change on networking equipment.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>25 Gbit/s at home, part 1</title><url>https://boredengineer.medium.com/25-gbit-s-at-home-part-1-98ff1013e32d</url></story>
