Looking for reliable options in the Toronto area. Prefer a home setup with residential property, ideally with fast 10GbE networking and stable 1GbE symmetric internet. Avoid renting office spaces or apartments. Need suggestions that fit a personal studio environment.

There's a WANT and there's a NEED .... you'll most likely live just fine with just 100 mbps upload, depending on what your business is. You don't need to pay hundreds of Canadian dollars each month on your Internet just because you want 1 gbps. Live streaming uses 10-20 mbps , uploading Youtube videos can be scheduled and done over night (so you can upload a 4K video at 10 MB/s in 20-30 minutes over night), there's few things that have to be done at 1 gbps upload speed. As for 10gbe networking ... that's up to you, it's not the job of the ISP to make your local network. Equipment is not expensive, you can buy 10 gbps switches for a couple hundred dollars or 40gbps switches for around 1k , and network cards are cheap, under $50 each for a 10g card.

Thank you for the advice. However, I think I require a symmetric 1Gb or 10Gb connection. My lab is already fully 10Gb, so I’m confident in my understanding. I’ll reach out to Equinix for further details.

He believes the statement is about whether an internet connection is the same as an internal network link. The devices are communicating at 10Gb, but not accessing the web at those rates unless you're charging high fees.
