I move large datasets for various projects. We also have some servers that get surges of activity (see: my kids run game servers with friends sometimes).
Having high speed fiber to the home has been great.
Oh, and the latency is much more consistent. On cable or dsl I often experienced many more laggy transmissions and packet retransmits.
I have 1gb/0.7gb fiber and do similar stuff. Latency is golden and speed is top notch according to me. I actually have 5gbps (2.5+1+1+0.5 or something, Also 10Gb is just +10€/m) but it's just expensive to replace my old ethernet cables & routers IMO for bo gain.
