I doubt anyone would do 10Gbps as fibre in a domestic situation where copper is good enough.

I am currently doing fibre roll out (order and network design stage) in my house as uplinks between switches over 30-40M. Saying that I am only running fibre because I am planning on running cables outside and intend on upgrading in the future, as my internal networks gigabit links are currently saturated whenever multiple sessions are occurring onto the server, every device including TV's, phones, literally connected to it.

Wow! Rolling out fibre within your own house. Order and network design stage huh! Impressive. Have you appointed civils contractors yet or are you pre-tender, only at expressions of interest stage? G’day Ryan 😎

Lets be honest Ryan, you're probably doing it because you can and want to rather than need to, you have already told us all you only have a 100Mb Virgin connection so you're either talking nonsense or unnecessarily moving extremely large volumes of data continually around your parents house.

With that amount of fibre it could be considered a "commercial" install - as soon as it becomes lit, the council will be after business rates on it!

I believe his bedroom in his parents house is now a global data centre for the likes of Amazon.

I know the connection is that slow however the internal server is quicker and is 10 Gig capable and I do move hundreds of gigs of 4K 60FPS video quite often to edit locally as I use windows's pro local sync features to do so which then re uploads to the server as i edit when it re-syncs. I was not fully stating it in a internet perspective but more local.
I am in the position that i need to as currently I am unable to use my 100 Megs of bandwidth for internet traffic while moving data from a computer 5 Gigabit and one 2.5 Gig Switches away from the router which adds a few MS of latency as-well so thats why I want to sort it out, all I can say is all the cat 3 and majority of cat 5E has been removed and replaced with cat 6 last year as all the old stuff was from before 2010.

I also host a node with storj
So that sucks up quite a lot of bandwidth however is lowest priority traffic as it's just an extra thing I do as I have spare storage on old HDD's.

It's like I say every device is constantly moving data somewhere either internal or external. All permanent computers on the network do not actually need any storage over 100 Gigs as software, documents and basically everything is sent across the network. I was not prepared to have 16 computers with a mess of local accounts and updates to do individually when I can just do it once and update a folder which does it everywhere and syncs it live to another location where the computers are also used and it simply saves time. I know because i have done the previous approach before I had a server, teamviewering to every device individually was less than ideal.

When i put order I meant parts are on order and cable route is in design.
It's not easy to just run the cable anyway as there are alarm systems and existing coaxial cable, standard telephone lines all over going in different ducting so I am trying to find routes where a drill won't go through a cable or a pipe between internal rooms and external between floors.
It's more complex than it sounds especially when the cable is running between two buildings and a 40CM think wall between them with one route for all cables, drilling could not be done by an expert as the thickness was too much for the massive drill he tried with. Guess that explains why the last guy ran the arial cable through the gutters and via another wall outside. You get the idea of why its being planned but I will stop now as this is not relevant to a FTTP install.

"drilling could not be done by an expert as the thickness was too much for the massive drill he tried with."

What a load of tosh. Massive drills are exactly what is required to get through a thick wall.

Are you making this up as you go along?

[Ryan - tell the ‘spurt, a 600mm long 10mm SDS plus drill bit from Screwfix is less than a tenner or a metre long shank is twelve quid - make sure to drill from inside to outside!]
