I moved from 100 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s (up/down both times) and haven't really noticed a difference. I'm still the only one using it in my household, mostly over wifi which caps me around ≈ 300 Mbits/s effectively.
I think you have to consider the quite limited multi tasking for bandwidth consumption. Worst case scenario I'm downloading some big file and streaming video at the same time, but that happens very early. Most realistically I'm only using one service at a time.
We also have to consider the asymmetrical nature of service consumption. Netflix et. al aren't event close to saturating a 100 mbit/s connection with video, nor are most places I download stuff so fast that I'm saturating my wifi-link.
This will probably age bad, but I think "100 Mbit/s low-latency bandwidth per person ought to be enough for anyone".
