I pay it, because for my use-cases it was the only way to get more than 100mbps (which was more like 75mbps at any regular time of day) download without giving up my 50mbps upload.

Now at least I can play my video games while my partner watches 4K shows on our TV.

Interestingly, moving from 100mbps to 1000mbps has given me a 5ms lower ping: 31ms to 24-25ms with a decrease in jitter of 5ms too, in Valorant -- this is to the exact same server from the physical same PC. I'm guessing even on the same damned cable, the 1000mbps customers get some kind of routing priority or something.
