Yes, in that sense you'd have a "dedicated" 1Gbps for each device. But realistically, how often do you need that?

I don't know about you, but the only time I would reach such a peak would be in case I download something huge while watching Netflix at 4k (which I don't have) and while at the same time downloading an update for my phone and a game for the PS5 (which I don't own).

I would argue that the likelihood of all the above things happening at the same time is quite low, at least for me :)

Perhaps we would not have to rely on other entities such as Apple/Google/Microsoft/Dropbox/etc to serve our content if we had decent upload bandwidth at home.

Families with two teenagers could easily hit 3x 4K Netflix/YouTube streams, 2x gamers and 1 backup sync at the same time.

But even such high peaks should be covered by “only” 1G.

I mean in 1980 how often did you need 128kb ISDN? A hunter gatherer would have told you they have no use for a spaceship, yet modern society uses them do deploy satellites of all kinds. Just because you dont have a need doesnt mean that needs dont exist.

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that as of today, I personally think it's useless.

Sure, being 10Gbps-ready is already awesome, but it feels like buying a 16k TV today. For some niche use cases it might make sense, but until this technology is mainstream and makes sense it would take a while
