Why really does matter. It was a genuine inquisitive inquiry. There was nothing wrong with his question...it was relatively polite and quoted in context properly as to emphasize why this sort of upgrade would need to be done in a particular location. Perhaps the poster was questioning the OP because he wanted to learn about GigE himself, and why it may/would be needed/wanted...
