    I know many, many businesses that don’t have 20 or 10 or even 1gig bidirectional internet. This is marketing fluff/flex as they know that even if they offer it to 100% of users. Only a very select few will consume it

      What kind of non-business user can even use this. Even if we assume all of octomom’s kids have 3 uncompressed 4k bluray streams running each at once - that’s 2.5Gbps max. And no streaming service even offers uncompressed video.

      Seriously - what is the point of >1Gbps for normal use? Games? They can be preloaded days in advance nowadays. Even without preloading - it really doesn’t take long to download on a gig connection.
