China has launched the world’s first commercial 10-Gigabit (10G) broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, with a significant deployment in Xiong’an New Area, a high-tech city being developed as a smart metropolis. The initiative, a collaboration between Huawei and state-owned China Unicom, went live on 20 April 2025.
I WFH for a company where we’re regularly moving files and packages in the 100s of GBs. I’m already on 2.5Gb and and I still ahev to wait 10-20 minutes at times. I also share a connection with my wife who is a CAD designer and 3D Space modeler for an architect who also works from home who also has similar upload & download times for some of her work.
That’s just us. There’s plenty of other professionals out there that work with large files between teams either as a job or hobby from home.
10Gb has a market for home users. It may be limited at this time, but it’s there.
