I can


Admittedly many businesses bundle together multiple 1Gb links because
that's cheaper than using 10GbE links.

I can usefully utilise 50% of a gig link pushing media files
around


But I bet you're less keen to spend £500 to £1000 per NIC and several
grand on a 10GbE switch ;-)


Now, yes. Later when they're dirt cheap, no...
