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.
The only reason to have such fast internet at home is for torrents. Nothing else will saturate 10G, even with several people using it.
It’s not even for the home lol, this is cellular. and yeah I cant find a reason for it, one of the reasons mentioned is medical procedures as the network only adds a 3ms delay
Sometimes the reason there is no use for it is because the data was unavailable. With larger data throughput, more and better services may become available.
Even when you consider common stuff like gaming, it often takes a while to fully download or update games.
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.
