This reminds me of "640K ought to be enough for anybody".
Right now I have 1gpbs up and down at home. That was an upgrade I did from 50 down about five years ago. The reason we upgraded was because at night when everyone was streaming things would slow down and we'd be fighting with each other. The 1g stopped that issue.
Right now the 1g is more than enough. But I'm sure there will come a time when it won't be. Maybe we'll have 8k streaming from AR headsets that require one stream for each eye. Or who knows what else.
I'd rather get ahead of it.
And right now it still takes a few minutes to download a movie at full quality. I have to say that when we went from 50m to 1g it was nice to be able to download TV shows in seconds.
