I noticed the same years ago. I have ~250mbit FiOS. I could upgrade to 1 gigabit for another $20 per month, but I don't feel that my life would be $20 per month better. Websites and Youtube wouldn't download any faster. Due to latency, work won't get any faster. I buy and install new games maybe once per year, but is saving an hour once a year really worth the extra $240 for that year? I don't think so.

I'm the only one at my house. My brother might come over, but that's just one low-end phone on wifi, which feels like a rounding error on ~250mbit.
