Everyone here arguing that most people have no practical use for higher speeds at home have never experienced 1 GBit up+down. Once you have it, you'll never settle for less.

I have 1 GBit up+down at home, I cabled the whole house with CAT7 cables and set up the best access points money can buy for mobile devices. Everything else is wired. It's an amazing experience and internet everywhere sucks compared to home.

When I lived in Romania this costed me €10, now that I am back in the Netherlands it's a bit more pricey at €52, but it's 100% worth it.

I think that people also say that they have no practical use for it because they don't have access to it, so they don't realize all the practical uses. For instance, I've worked with a lot of engineering companies that collect a lot of lidar data. Having reasonable speeds (1Gbps up/down) would have a huge impact on how and where we can transmit and process the data.

I did the same, hoping that someday I will finally get FTTH. Currently still on the only real option here which is Comcast 1G/20M. Sometimes LTE has better upload speed (but not latency, obviously).
