I pay about $80 for a 1Gbps symmetrical connection in Brazil.

I work in photography in my spare time, and a single photoshoot can easily pass 2k raw photos, which I backup to three remote locations. Plus, I download every movie and TV show we consume at home, have games to play, and work as a programmer.

Honestly, if I could afford a 10 gig switch and routers (we have three at home, in mesh), I’d go higher.

Quality of life matters. If I can make a website or a download just a little bit faster, I’ll.
