mass market is engineered this way with fiber and its great.

All households benefit if you think about video uploads, backups, etc



1 GBPS is a lot of video though. Something like 10 streams of the highest quality and like 40-100 of really good quality.


It means really fast docker push, VM uploads, backups, etc.

It also means I can keep a ubuntu mirror, private docker repo, possibly IPFS node in the future, backup server, all at home.

I also never have to worry about my work/uploads saturating connection and interfering with wife/kids connections.

Growing up with 20KB/s I'd take the fastest connection I can, if I could update to 10Gb/s and more I would :)
