I think most people with gigabit internet at home never max out their pipe with a single connection, not even close. The real value of gigabit internet, for most people, is being able to handle numerous family members all doing their thing online at once without stepping on each other's toes.

- lxgr 3y agoTrue, and I'd argue that the most significant benefit Gigabit home internet provides is (at least in many cases) a meaningful upload data rate. Upload congestion, together with massive Bufferbloat powered by horrendously configured CPEs, is what makes home internet connections feel slow most of the time.
