These things are nice-to-have until they become sufficiently widespread that typical consumer applications start to require the bandwidth. That comes much later.
E.g.: 8K 60 fps video streaming benefits from data rates up to about 1 Gbps in a noticeable way, but that's at least a decade away form mainstream availability.
- notpushkin 2y agoThe other side of this particular coin is, when such bandwidth is widely available, suddenly a lot of apps that have worked just fine are now eating it up. I'm not looking forward to 9 gigabyte Webpack 2036 bundles everywhere :V
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah for me it's mostly ollama models lol. It is nice to see it go fast. But even on my 1gbit it feels fast enough.
- wkat4242 2y agoYeah the problem here is also that I don't have the router setup to actually distribute that kind of bandwidth. 2.5Gbit max.. And internal network is 1 Gbit too. So it'll take ) and cost) more than just changing my subscription. Also my TV is still 1080p lol
