I agree with JTF195 and DTBM - we do need 10Gbit wired.

As mentioned pretty much any SSD is able to provide nearly double the speed of gigabit ethernet. I have 2 Gbit ports in my server to help things along, but the server (RAID array) can feed 300MB/sec (~3x what gigabit does) and the SSD in the PC can write at 400MB/sec but a copy operation only manages about 90MB/sec over the gigabit meaning transfers take over twice as long as they would with faster ethernet.

I think that was the general point of the posts, we need faster wired connections - and lets face it, most of the time these WiFi boxes are being fed from a wired network/computers so having them (WiFi A/P) faster than the wired port is often pointless.
