For me I cant justify a 2.5 or 10gbit lan. For whatever reason 2.5gbit just wont drop in price, at one point gigabit was the premium but now is almost as cheap as 100mbit, but those hardware keep their premium attached.

I do have a NAS but the reality is the throughput of the storage is not much faster than gigabit anyway so spending to upgrade my lan would maybe get me 1.3gbit instead of 1gbit lan throughput and I do find gigabit to be easily fast enough for my needs.

In terms of the 1.1gbit internet connection, the extra 100mbit? dont care really. It even acts as a form of QoS ensuring I will never ever fully utilise my downstream.
