You're confusing WAN with LAN. I didn't buy a switch to browse the internet faster; I bought it to move files between my local devices, backing up to my NAS, and streaming high-bitrate media locally.
Even if someone has standard internet, a 10Gb uplink ensures multiple 2.5Gb local clients don't bottleneck each other when routing internal traffic. It's okay if local networking isn't your thing, but calling basic network architecture 'delusional' just because you don't understand the difference between local traffic and your ISP bill is a weird look.

A google search suggests the "S" is the later model. It looks like it has a slightly more compact design, but other than that it's not immediately clear if there are any other notable differences.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
5Gbit? You think people are buying 5Gbit service in the states? It's surely under a few thousand for every large market, and the amount of households actually saturating that is an incredibly slim number of that.

None of your forum replies are helpful towards the deal whatsoever... The first response is a "observation" with a statement with no supporting facts. The an unsolicited "lesson" followed by soapboxing to justify why a 2.5Gb switch was a good purchase for yourself.
Your following reply is just demonstrating your "superiority" in knowledge with an correction then more bragging about how smart you are (or believe to be)... none of which is that difficult and anybody can search on YouTube and be on your level. You of course end with another more basic statements and insults to solidify yourself as a common redditor who acts intelligent, but just clogs up the chat.
I spent way too much time writing this reply just to let you know people like you are ruining a deal forum with your "expertise" - just because other simpletons "upvoted' your response they just see your "big words" and like to fit it... they have no idea what they are reading and forget this is for deals not for soapboxing.
