I believe most people pay for much more bandwidth than they require.

That. Also some things to consider:
some areas can't get Spectrum or Quantum. If I want broadband internet, my only option is Xfinity. I can get "high speed" internet from CenturyLink for $55/month for 3mbps max. I'm paying $50/month for 200mbps from Xfinity. I would be paying only $45 but I refuse to do auto-pay, and send payment when the bill comes instead.
I wouldn't mind paying less for 100mbps, but I was paying $50 for that, and they doubled my speed without charging more, so this is what I have til the contract expires. And then I'll see what specials they have, and threaten to cancel and return as a "new customer" to get those special deals anyway.
