Faster than gigabit, but not 2.5 gigabit. Your cables likely support the speed, just your ports and switching hardware are capped at gigabit.
It’s not extremely expensive, but unless you move around a lot of big files, you’re probably getting very diminished returns, even spending less than twice as much for 2.5x speeds.
I like the idea that Fuentes saw a coincidence, decided to play it up, by cosplaying as a dude with a crossbow who was actually in his neighborhood, standing threateningly on his own porch, to play a victim because he didn’t get to be one in real life.
Even if it didn’t transpire that way, it’s funny how it totally fits.
