My SFP 10GbE equipment was cheaper than the 1GbE equipment I installed 15 years ago. You can absolutely set up a home fiber network affordably if you want, NICs for tower hardware isn’t even the issue - even SFP USB dongles are widely available and not that expensive.

Yup, I went with MikroTik for my home network, and it’s been great, although the sfp switch I’m eying will set me back a bit.
