In practice how fast is the 10GbE of M2 or M2 Pro? Does it slow down over time due to heat?

Old thread but I have a question about the optional 10GbE on the mini

Does anyone have 10GbE in their home? If so:
1. I’m jealous
2. Where do you live?
3. What speed can you obtain?

All of the 10GbE services I have seen has just been at a few businesses, I haven’t seen any actual 10 GbE service in a residential setting. (I’ve seen 2 that have claimed 10GbE but is was actually just good 1GbE service [700+ Mbps])

Is 10GbE just for business or future proofing?

Most consumers will have a hard time finding availability of 10Gb internet. Most use 10Gbe for their Local Area Network. Ive got a server with 10Gbe and it's nice being able to actual work from the server with a 1,000 MB/s connection vs 100 MB/s. It also allows up 10 1GbE devices to pull to their full bandwidth without being bottlenecked by a 1GbE uplink.

5GbE internet here, but 10GbE LAN (for many, but not all ports)
