Ever download a 100GB game? The 5x speed increase from 200mbit to 1gbit is significant. Most families have kids that game.

- vel0city 2y agoI'm actually downloading one right now off Steam, and I'm limited more by IOPS on the drive I'm installing to than I am my internet speed due to the compression/encryption/unpacking. Not even using much more than 100Mbits consistently here, but I am installing to a microSD on a gaming handheld. But devices like this are getting more popular especially for a multi-kid household. But even then, it's not something most people are constantly doing. Maybe a couple of times a month. I'd still probably go with more than 200Mbit for a family, but knowing how many of the families I know use their home internet they're rarely coming even close to routinely maxing out a 500Mbit connection even with several kids.
