I have 10 gig at home, and powerful enough networking hardware that can take advantage of it (Ubiquiti stuff)
Nothing can ever saturate the line. So it's great for aggregate, but that's it
It's not often that I can saturate a 1Gbps line, unless you have a large household I don't see much point in going over 1Gbps right now. Though I'm sure there are some exceptions.
That’s what I was gonna say: it’s not that i use sufficient bandwidth to really need 1gbps but the line is never even temporarily saturated. Just rock solid
Man, I'd love to sit on that. Growing up with 56k and living with 100Mb/s now is already a big difference, but it shows when I push and pull docker images or when family accesses the homeserver. 1Gb/s would be better, but probably I'll somehow use up the bandwidth with a new toy. 10Gb would keep me busy for a long time. 20Gb would allow me try out ridiculous stuff I haven't thought of yet.
Same, I got 10gbit because there was some competition early with fiber getting wider. Now my same provider has slower offers at lower prices but I don't mind the extra bandwidth in the case I would need it and I have a grandfathered offer so pay the same as 1gbit.
Paying the same rate is certainly an instance where it makes since. Plus, you can show off to friends!
