I love that i can download from Steam and/or bittorrent at a ~1gbps each, and still have 1gbps upload for Plex (and bittorrent) and in theory some LAN bandwidth left for the NAS and such

(I have 2.5gbps LAN for my workstation, server, and Wi-Fi APs; with a 2400mbps symmetric AT&T fiber uplink)

Yeah, it's overkill, but it's great to have the headroom when i really want to push things. Uplink bandwidth is basically guaranteed never to be an issue. Yeah i could save some money and go to 1500mbps i guess but something about having ~2.5G the whole way through provides some peace of mind somehow
