Yeah, i've reached the conclusion that gigabit is enough for now. I can get 1.2, 2.5, 6 and 10 at my house but i'm staying at 1 because it's honestly plenty fast for a family of 3 - even with 2 of us working from home.

    Gigabit is plenty for years to come. Even with 3 of you there. I know people that had like 300MBps with 5 people in the house streaming, 2 people playing games, and tons of phones. Unless you got 10 people in your house, gigabit is plenty. You talking about 'enough for now' with only 3 people in the house lmao. Bruh

    I suppose it's strange to reach a point where I have 3 choices for gigabit and multiple much faster choices and not opt for the faster. This is literally the first time in my life that I've not had the fastest plan I can get. I can absolutely afford 10G service... But you are right, there's really no reason for it right now
