    I feel like a big part of it is just that there’s absolutely no reason a regular consumer needs >1Gb equipment when (essentially) no home internet providers provide internet speeds that fast and no regular consumers need it.

    The prosumer market only gets cheap for new equipment when you can convince regular consumers they need it and that has barely happened for 1Gb, let alone 10Gb.

      I think while second part is true, first part definitely isn’t. Comcast/Xfinity and ATT Uverse both offer >1Gbps now. I even have a small company offering 8Gb fiber here
