I would never get lower than 1G speeds. I’m paying $39 a month for 1G speed. If I could get fiber 2G for $95 a month, I would jump on it.
Cable networks suck for pure bandwidth. I get 1G down but only 30-40Mb upload. When you get fiber, you get the same speed for uploads and downloads.
If somebody wants to backup a 4TB dive to the cloud and you had a 200Mb download speed and you probably get 10-20Mb upload speeds, it would take you months to backup your disk, plus anybody else in your house uploading or sending somebody a file, it would take hours or longer to do this. I take advantage of technology, plus I hate buffering or waiting for something to start, so the faster speeds help with this and fiber has an ultra low latency compared to copper networks.
