First, why do you need anything over 100Mbps? Seriously, you not going to notice anything on basic browsing and streaming. Most of the sites servers don't have anything above gigabyte switches.

Secondly, none of your PCs support anything over 1GB. You require a new ethernet board for your computer and only a few new computers might have 2.5GB ethernet. And then, if you're on CAT5, you might not be able to do 2.5GB and would need to re-wire your cables.

Of course, your old switches and routers have to be upgraded for 2.5GB too.

But the real reason is that unless you're uploading terabytes of porn, you're never going to see the difference between 1GB and 2.5. Realistically, you won't notice for most downloads with only 100Mbps.

Our Cox internet sucks and is intermittent, so I downgraded to 50Mbps. Upload only gives my 19Mbps, but I don't upload stuff. It's it takes a while, who cares. But I still get 290Mbps after paying only for 50Mbps.

Send back the 2GB modem.
