The idea is that you use the 10Gb port as a trunk, then you use your switch to split it into separate physical ports using VLANs.
Ah that makes sense, so not very useful if you have over 5Gb internet service I suppose.
The 10Gb is full duplex, so you can transfer at the full 10Gb though that is split between upload and download. These and the kind of 'problems' I wish I had to consider.
Fair, I guess the chances of needing simultaneous 10Gb download and upload on the internet connection are pretty slim.
My ISP does offer 6 Gbps, but 1 Gbps is far more than I need already. I would drop down to like a 500 Mbps plan if they had one but it jumps all the way to 100 Mbps.
