In agree. This is tangential to the original post but may be worth stating. Unless you are moving large files around, say 50 gigabyte tarballs like I used to do when I was working, the required nominal bandwidth is probably fairly low. For many, video streaming will be the most demanding application. For example, 1080p streaming uses about 5 megabits per second per stream. 2160p (aka 4K) uses about 20 megabits per second per stream but there isn’t a lot of 4K material out there. We have 200 megabits per second up and down and this is probably 10x what we use. We have 200 megabits per second because it is their lowest tier of service.
