We finally got internet at our new place today. The release of our Pub Crawl milestone should happen shortly. We also replaced our old 100 Mbit networking hardware with new 1 Gbit switches. I was worried about the cost being too much for the extra speed. I was also worried that we wouldn’t see a big difference in our transfer rates. After hooking up the new switches my worries were quickly put to rest. The new transfer speeds over the network are wonderful and it was worth every penny. If you are deciding whether or not to switch to Gigabit Ethernet I highly recommend you do. If your computers don’t have Gigabit Ethernet cards you can pick them up pretty cheap and the money saved by using 100 Mbit hardware will not justify the slower transfer rates.
