Post by Yamn2 RemailerHi,
Greetings,
I have high speed internet
around over 100 Mbps
I have 300 Mbps and my ISP is nagging me to upgrade my 3.0 DOCIS cable
modem to 3.1. It's so they can charge me more money for greater capacity.
Do I need it? Not really. My average is about 275/285 Mbps down which
is fine. Uplink cap is 15-25 Mbps burst, 12.5 Mbps after burst.
My cell phone in hotspot mode has 500+ Mbps down and 35 Mbps up. I have a
bandwidth cap at 60 GB per month before additional charges.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerA fiber optic connection
Fiber is generally good. Fibre at 100 Mbps is capped, it could be 1 Gbps
or higher if you fork out the $$$.
100 Mbps = 12.5 MBps, 300 Mbps = 37.5 MBps, 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) = 125 MBps.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerBut I dont see much difference
in what I can do with it
Depends on what you need and what you want to do.
Streaming content. Use Roku, Kodi, Samsung TV, Firesticks, phones etc.
Some of us provide tech support for hardware, OS and software providing
problem analysis and resolution plans. Support files can range from a few
MB to over 20 GB that expands to 100 GB after download. Takes a while to
D/L 20 GB over 100 Mbps, a bit less than 30 mins assuming all is optimal.
Same D/L over 300 takes a little less than 10 mins. The D/L is only as
fast as the slowest link between uplink and destination. If the uplink is
capped (Some are) it could take considerably longer.
I also have a fibre channel SAN and multiple servers running native and
hypervisors.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerI lose freedom as the plan
is upgraded
Shouldn't. Should gain benefits.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerMy devices are not visible on LAN
What kind of devices? What do you need to "see" about them? Can you ping
them? Windows systems won't show up in the Network unless you enable
sharing for example. You don't have to "share" anything, just enable it
so you can see the other systems in Network.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerRouter for fiber optics is complicated
Get your own router and put the fiber router in bridging mode. Netgear
routers are decent and the I/F is sensible. The below router is decent
for home use. Look on Amazon.

Post by Yamn2 RemailerAlso I dont get fixed public IP
You don't need a fixed IP, use dynamic dns https://freeddns.dynu.com/
Put the fiber router in bridge mode, use your own router to forward
ports, use ddns. You can use VPNs no problem this way.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerSo no chance of hosting services
Depends if the provider blocks ports 25, 21, 80, etc. Most do. Just
change the forwarded external port number and configure accordingly for
personal use. Note that some providers use content filtering and will
detect / block certain inbound well known services by handshake. In that
case use a VPN.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerI see one use is that of hosting onion links on Omnimix
or other onionshare
Don't need port forwarding for that. I host onion services for mail, web
and file sharing without any issues for example.
Don't need fixed port forwarding for that either, let the client sw
randomize and open the port as needed.
Post by Yamn2 RemailerBut most of the speed is waste
Not a waste. A sewer pipe should never be full.

do with high speed internet , I would like to know*
