This is just such a nonissue. 10mbps is fast enough for anything regular users need.

In our household 200Mbps approaches not fast enough when everyone is using, such that we’re upgrading to 1Gbps.

With improved speeds usage patterns change. 5 years ago we would barely crack 150GB/month, and now we’re pushing 1TB/month.

What apps/services sucks up the bandwidth? I know 7-person families (where everyone has a computer/tablet) that are happy with 50 Mbps.
"Broadband" used to mean really fast, not just adequate for most people.
