Broadband is irrelevant when discussing LAN architectures. Broadband is
WAN, a whole different animal.


It's still relevant because both WAN and LAN need Ethernet adapters!
Everything in the end comes down on prices of relevant technology!


What Skybuck wants to do, is span devices sequentially using ICS.
For Comp#2 to receive service, everything in the chain needs power.
And that costs money.

GbE GbE 10GbE
Broadband -------- entry_device ---------- Comp#1 --------- Comp#2
WAN ICS

The 10GbE is for transferring files quickly between PCs.

In most neighborhoods, the best you can expect is
GbE on the WAN side. While you can have "any rate you want",
the higher rates cost too much money for what you get.
People connected to Internet2 would use higher rate
connections (universities, research institutions).
