Is 1gig fiber necessary? (alien.top)

I currently have 300mb fiber and was wondering if 1gig would be worth it. We have 4 PC/laptops, 1 tablet, 4 phones, and about 10 other Internet connected devices. Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed. Would gig Internet really help that out?

It seems like you would benefit more from a better WiFi setup than WAN upgrade.
