Think this underestimates quality of life benefits.
Recently went from a 500mbps line + wifi bridge (~ +2ms, 1.5gbps throughput on wifi) to a 1.6gig line with wired 2.5gig and was surprised that it made a noticeable difference in casual browsing. The numbers say it shouldn't but it did
If 30 bucks more saves me time on downloads AND every single click on browsing a bit snappier...that makes sense to me even if I don't care how many concurrent 4K streams the pipe could carry
- TylerE 5mo agoA really good CDN like Steam can absolutely saturate a link like that. I'm on a gigabit line (which actually performs at more like 1.1), and I've seen 120MB/sec download speeds on Steam. With today's games often weighting in at 50GB+ that's not nothing, either.
- queenkjuul 5mo agoSteam won't ever saturate my 2400Mbps line but it will absolutely exceed 1000 for sustained periods. Microsoft is slower but updates and Xbox games also hit 1000 sometimes
