I live near San Francisco and I pay like $55/month for Sonic fiber. It's 10G down, 10G up, which is absurdly fast for me. Almost all my devices can only use 1G so I definitely don't need 10G. I was just so fucking sick of Comcast, I was paying quite a bit more for 1G from them.
My ISP bumped me up from 1GB to 3GB for free and I was like like great, can you upgrade all of my NICs and router ports to be higher than 1GB? Because you effectively gave me nothing.
