Hardware Looks like the Switch's networking is capped at 50mb/s, both wired and wireless.

[Shadowfied]

LOL. That's really hard to reach 50 MB/s, that would need an Internet speed of 400 Mbps, which almost no one has. You are just bitching about nothing.

We're talking 50 Mb, not MB.
It does not even reach 50 Mb, that's the point.
Also, gigabit is not even rare anymore.

Even if it's 50 Mb, my point still stands. An xDSL connection deosn't even reach 25 Mbps with your house actually inside the phone central. And most people in the world have xDSL.

well i don't i have cable 100 Mbps and all i get on switch is 15 Mbps on a wired connection that's weak!

Way to generalize. In Sweden we've been actively building fiber since 2004. It's not even uncommon to have well above 50 Mb.

whats the difference LOL

Mb is megabit, MB is megabyte.
1000 Mb is 125 MB.

I live at only 4.5 kilometers from Paris and I only got the fiber since 2014. My box currently delivers 100 Mbps, but 4 years ago I had cable that peaked at 22 Mbps, and before that, ADSL2 that peaked at 4 Mbps.

Right, sadly the world doesn't revolve around what you have.

90$ fpr 230 ? damn son thats expensive :/, 60 for 800 here in france :x.

that's nothing. $200 for 30mbps

I would also add:
1000mb (megabits) = 1gb (gigabits)
And
1000MB (MegaBytes) = 1GB (GigaBytes)

i don't know where you live in france, but north of france here, 41 000 citizens only, i have a gigabit internet... And there is a lot of ctities around Lille where i live that have that...
100MB = 800Mbps

300 channels? or actually like 10-20 channels, because every channel is duplicated in sd version and HD version
plus all the crap like channels by the company to sell you the "premium ultra deluxe" package or to advertise other stuff they sell

No, he's right, for 60€ you have a lot of movies channels, discovery channels like NatGeo Wild or else, some unlimited VOD, exclusive series channel that broadcast US series same time as US (like for game of thrones, walking dead ect),
and exclusives sport channels that broadcast this or this european league. And of course 1gigabit internet, unlimited phone calls on a lot of countries and you can watch every channel or replay on smartphones and tablet ect. All of that with "smart media center internet boxes" with 4k, bluray player and some other stuff. Thats really the most advanced thing we have in our country, triple pay offers.

Beats the shit out of the Wii-U's 8Mbps shit speed no matter if you were wired or your console dry humping a router.. My speedtests on a 120Mbps connection is hitting 39Mbps

 

[Kioku]

Are people really upset about this? It's a HUGE increase from the previous generations. Not to mention, there are a lot more people with <60mbps download speeds.

 

[zoogie]

If there's limits to what speeds the switch can handle, it's likely bottlenecked by having to write to flash.

I mean, I'm CONTENT with it, they FINALLY fucking support 5 GHz. If I can get 50 Mbps from the eShop then that's acceptable, considering PSN, for example, has absolute horse shit speeds, at least in Sweden, whereas Steam will ALWAYS pump out the absolute fucking max.

If it isn't bottlenecking somewhere else, it's still illogical though, especially the EXACT 50 mark (fast.com literally reaches 49 but not higher). I mean, it feels weird to support ethernet (I know, stability™) and 5 GHz only to limit it at 50 after all. You can even reach around the 50 mark with DSL..I feel like it's soft capped, but I can't for the life of me imagine why, other than an horribly retarded theory that I don't even wanna talk about..

What is a good USB 3.0 third party lan adapter that is confirmed to work with the Switch?

Nobody can confirm any, because USB 3.0 hasn't been enabled by Nintendo yet. They've stated they will enable it with a future update, so nobody knows for sure. But if I had to guess, the USB 3.0/1Gb adapters that work on the Wii and Wii U should theoretically work.

100 Mb/s network here, Fast.com gets me to 49 Mb/s on the Switch. Only tried wireless.

Definitely feels like a software cap.

It will be interesting to see if they do work as the wireless caps at 50Mb, but my guess is that it will not matter as the eShop is probably capped somewhere is the 50Mb range anyway.

EDIT: it is a cap, I redirected one of the speedtest files via Charles and got ~49Mb on Nintendo's built-in speedtest.

That's messed up. I pay $80 for 60dn/5up

In the US (specifically east Texas), we can get about 30-60 Mbit/s for $65-70. That's considered fast. I always thought super fast network cards were future proofing.

Where my parents live, 40-300 kbit/s is the fastest available and the same price.
