After just updating from sub-10Mbit/s connection to 50Mbit/s, I don't really see why this would be something for which to waste a free wish. I honestly can't think what I'd do better with a gigabit connection.

Perhaps you don't upload much video/content. Most non-symmetrical Internet connections have HORRIBLE upload speeds. Makes doing things like recording multiple security camera's to the cloud at real high resolution impossible.

Gigabit speeds are typically symmetrical.

And 640k of memory ought to to be enough for anybody
Not what I was trying to imply, just that the connection speeds and prices seem to already be increasing at an okay-ish pace.
