I upgraded from 1gbe to 2.5gbe and kept the same price. I think offsite backups and even faster downloads/uploads (when I do download) are the biggest wins. Going from 1->2.5 is a roughly ~2.2 speedup for me. I doubt most servers support 5-10gbe yet though. I'm seeing fastly.com and some out-of-isp (but local to my country) speed tests not reaching max speeds yet (but close). Plus more headroom for multiplexing users. Going to gigabit fibre was like upgrading from hdd->ssd. Going to multi-gigabit is like ssd->nvme. Most use cases really don't need it, but when you do disk (network) intensive stuff it pays off. It sucks that 10gbe is more widely adopted though than 2.5/5gbe, probally since the latter is a more recent technology.
