Sometimes it's not about what you can do now, but in the future.

Some months ago I've watched a documentation about a small village in Germany with abysmal internet access and how how multiple companies there struggled to do any work beyond being a bakery.

There was a construction company pre-building blocks for houses out of lumber and their CNC machining required stable internet access. They weren't able to work for days because of fluctuations.

I have a one gigabit line here at my home and even I struggle sometimes uploading bigger assets to my company's servers.

I like the approach Switzerland went with. If you tear up the road, put down the most modern infrastructure available at the moment. Don't bother with "good enough for the moment".
