For those use cases, latency is IMO a bigger deal than bandwidth. For remote PC, 20mbps 5ms latency would beat 10Gbps 50ms latency.
And due to the speed of light, you can't get latency arbitrarily low.

But you can dial it down pretty damn well. When I had Frontier in Texas, I rarely saw latency over 19 ms to any location in the United States. 35+ ms and I was fussy... amazing how quickly fiber can spoil a man.
