Well, if cost of hardware on ISP side is fairly similar for 1G, 10G and 25Gbps, then why not offer also the fastest option just because you can?

> if the service you are using can't keep up.

Thats standard chicken and egg problem, why provide faster servers when ISPs are offering 1Gbps at most

IMO internet speed could be like electricity/power - like most people don't care how much power they can get from the grid, in the future we will have the same when it comes to the internet - it will almost always be fast enough for everything
