Have you amortized the value of that time over 24 hours?
I'm probably not going to apply that MacOS update until the weekend, so I can download it at 3AM. I don't care if it takes 2 minutes or 20 minutes (or, heck, 200 minutes!) to download season three of The Wire as long as I can start episode one "quickly enough" because the rest will follow.

That's just a small example, but not having to plan my life around large downloads is in and of itself a benefit of the fast connection.
