Signing up for one of the new 10Gbps or 5Gbps broadband? Here's how you can gear up for it.

In my last part of a 3-part Singapore broadband story I wrote for HardwareZone, I explain how you can gear up to experience its full benefits.

Why bother? Simple: The average home user will only experience limited improvements if they don't first update their current setup.

Here's what I covered:

1. **Upgrading your system**

Support for 10Gbps Internet is not common today and will probably require you to purchase a 10Gbps expansion card. It's also taxing on the PC too, so you'll probably want a newer device.

1. **Let's talk about Wi-Fi**

We love our Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, no Wi-Fi system created yet can give you 10Gbps speed to a single device, despite what extremely creative marketing materials might tell you. I discuss about what's actually possible.

1. **Overhauling your network**

Want to share more of your insanely fast (and pricey) 10Gbps broadband with the rest of the family? Here's what you need to do. Yes, more upgrading.

1. **Additional context**

Some bonus materials such as the idiosyncrasies of the Internet and how to get maximum performance from your wireless network.

Curious? Here are a couple of posts I wrote recently about fast broadband.

Do you have any plans to upgrade your home broadband beyond 1Gbps?
