...and here I am enjoying a nice and steady 300 mbps, thinking: "Why on earth I'd want to improve it to almost 20 times more, when its already fast enough to load most content in less than a fraction of a second?".
I'm content with 100MBPS myself. It's fast enough to load sites nigh instantaneously. I don't have a lot of hiccups. It downloads things reasonably well.
I would rather be on 100MBPS than the times where, I wasn't. Like I remember dial-up, 33kbps. I remember shitty ass DSL 768kbps. I remember local "broadband" of 1 ~ 5MB.
If I got anything less than 100MBPS, then I'd be discontented. The only way I'd be even more content is probably being on your level or 250MBPS at least. Why would I need gigabit connectivity? It sounds like something I'd need, if I was like a business or having multiple people around. I'm only one person though.
