There's a list of 802.3 standards at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.3, if anyone's curious to see the development and future of ethernet. Some of the numbers involved are absolutely crazy.

I have how long 1Gb stuck along. >1Gb switches are still relatively expensive

nah 2,5Gbit is super cheap now...

4x 2,5Gbit + 2x 10Gbit = €72 (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0C64N2QN7)
8x 2,5Gbit + 1x 10Gbit = €98 (https://www.amazon.de/Unmanaged-Ethernet-Switching-Capacity-Compatible/dp/B0C5D2Y4FH)

yes they aren't "20 dollah" like the 1Gbit ones but those prices aren't bad at all and there are like a bajillion models on the market these days
