A lot of people in here saying they have no use case for it, but if everyone had this kind of connection then the use cases could start to emerge.

When I briefly had really fast fiber, the noticeable latency difference was insane. It's not enough to go by a simple ping. Nobody uses the internet by sending pings. Real world use is about moving a lot of data. A more accurate measure of latency is bandwidth. Everything loads instantly. It's like going from HDD to SSD or single core to multicore CPU. I probably rarely max out the bandwidth of my modern SSDs or CPUs but they're just faster.

Also it seems like a lot people, especially Americans, cope about everything they aren't the best at. Tell themselves they don't need it. What's it for? It's useless. It sucks anyways. They don't want it... Like immature little kids. When they have the thing then suddenly everyone else sucks for not having it.
