i dug around on Alibaba and found SFP fiber for $10/km. Insane.

And, yes, that got me started down a rabbit hole of home fiber. It is odd that home devices with fiber options aren't more common. I'm sure someone will say, "why? Ethernet is good enough," but again: fiber wire (cable?) costs are a fraction of ethernet, especially if you're going for the high speed rating. I don't see prices for switches and connectors on Amazon being outrageous, for multi-mode.

Here's me, just tooling along extending ethernet and running fiber was so as expensive as it was ten years ago. Ethernet for sure still is.
