Careful, multi-mode fiber is near its scaling limits. 10GBASE-SR and 25GBASE-SR exist, but that's about it. (By contrast, 40GBASE-LR and 100GBASE-LR work over single-mode fiber, and DWDM + coherent optics can push the medium much further.) Wouldn't want to be stuck at 25 gbps forever ;-)

Yeah, some of us can type pretty fast. And for mice, some of us take clicker games seriously.
