It's starting to become difficult to comprehend much of it now. My ISP is pushing me to replace my 300 Mbps service with 2Gbps, but I never even saturate what I have. Maybe if I were a gamer with huge downloads it would make sense to upgrade.

- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI'm a gamer on 300 Mbps. Even 100 GB huge games aren't much more than a half hour away on steam. I don't really see the value in being able to download that much in 5 minutes.

If I were routinely having to wait to start a frequently patched game, that would get old pretty quickly. Outside of that, yeah, I am not sure what use greater than gigabyte would be for 95% of the population.
