I live in New Zealand, 1Gb uncapped fibre is available in most urban areas at reasonable cost (sub $100/month) - I keep getting feelers from the fibre company to upgrade (to 2/4Gb) and I honestly can't imagine why I'd bother - I work at home (have for 20 years) but I seldom find myself waiting for the net, we don't have a problem when everyone's streaming .... and I'd have to upgrade ALL the household infrastructure - routers/wiring .... and we'd still be limited by wifi speeds (which is what everyone outside my office uses).
I used to design 2D graphics accelerators, one thing we learned was that perceived performance is not linear, in reality there was a performance region where people would always crave more, and another where things were fast enough and people were happy but wouldn't open their wallets for massive increases .... at that point 10x seemed more like 1.5x) - I suspect that something similar applies to home net performance too
