My measured speed at home is typically over 600 Mbs. Most (not all) of the house and devices are networked over ethernet. I'm super happy that we have all the bandswidth because on most days:
- We have 2 adults working full time from home. We're in the entertainment/technology industry. We're streaming video calls and transferring massive files/repos _constantly_. One uses a remote desktop solution to get to their media workstation in the office regularly, requiring a low latency connection.
- We have 2 children going to school from home (schools haven't reopened here), spending the day on either Zoom or on Netflix/video games.
And then there's all the smartphones and other smart devices around the house regularly eating up bandwidth.
I don't always need all that bandwidth, but when I do, it's crucially important.
