Because for the price, that comment isn't really relevant. You'd be hard pressed to find a 2.5gb switch for under $50 from a reputable company, and even more so one that is more than 5 ports.
The comment wasn't really constructive or applicable to the post. It's like if I leave a comment for a... Samsung S24 deal. Now, if I say "Nowadays, I consider the Samsung S25 to be a lot more modern", well I'm not really wrong per se but we are comparing two different price brackets and two different use cases.
Yes, ISPs offer multiple gigabit internet plans, but the majority of people are still rocking just 1 gigabit and as such a single gigabit switch will be fine for most people.
This Steamemo switch[amazon.com] is the same price, same number of ports, web managed, and supports POE input (no external power supply required). Lots of good reviews from other technical users too.

Why is this cimmwnt down voted, most ISPs offer up to 5gbps for reasonable prices, most routers offer 2gbps wireless, most NAS comr woth 2.5g port. Why wouldn't anyone want 2.5g port?

I've had this for about a year and a half. Just a week ago it started behaving strangely and the devices connected to it will randomly disconnect. A power cycle sometimes fixes it, but not always. I wouldn't recommend this as a long-term solution.

Yeah, well when I click on product support I get a 500 error. Also, it says "Your product is covered under hardware warranty till 2027-07-26. Your product no longer has warranty support, and no contracts are available to purchase." So no, I don't think I will be able to use the warranty...

What country do you live in?! Less than a third of homes in America had access to gigabit broadband in 2023. And a lot of those markets are monopolies with very unfriendly prices.
Ever heard of Starlink? Why do you think it is profitable to create an entire space program just to sell Americans internet if we all have 5 gigabit fiber?!
And no households who are limping along with dsl internet do not typically have a 2.5 gigabit nic NAS hooked up.
This would be nice for some cameras, printer, streaming box, and a couple of desktops.

Im in the United States and I had option of getting 5gbps fiber but because I didn't want the additional services they were offering I chose 2.5gbps
I just don't understand this backlash as if faster internet is some kind luxury.
Starling might be good for rural areas or mountains or desert homes in the middle of nowhere. I am not in the middle nowhere and probably pay less than most people pay for their cable internet or TV for 2.5gbps.
"What are gonna do with all thst speed" its not speed, its accessibility and being able to host your own files on your own servers securely. I've been considering getting rid of cloud storage and move everything to NAS hosted storage. 2.5gbps ethernet and router and switch will help me avoid bottlenecks. Same with NVR access, and about keeping every device on same speed. Less than 3rd of America having access to gigabit seems like failure, or just overall lack of standards we got used to. Monopoly in most areas create the problem of slow speeds, expensive services.

5 port version
This and the TP link metal ones are a solid product.
