You could get a 10 Gbps network card for under $100

And ensure the router and the ethernet cable support that. But yeah.

I could, but in reality, I barely ever max out even the 1 GBit. Steam is probably the only service that comes to mind. And whether I download a new game in 10 minutes or 1 minute doesn't really matter...

I cant even max out my 1gbit with steam because they use compression and my CPU just cant decompress fast enough.
