Last mile speeds for end-users aren't that important, most networking interaction they require goes to the internet anyway. Internet providers in the USA trying to push 5Mbit to be classified as "broadband" should tell you enough... I'm used to full speed 100Mbit internet (actually 160, but my router only has a 100Mbit connection), but for average useage - the difference between 50 and 100Mbit is rarely noticeable - unless you download big files. Once 4k or 8k streaming becomes more common, sure then you'd like to have full Gbit where max bitrate would be 340Mbit - but for even decent full-hd streaming - nobody needs more than 50Mbit (in real throughput that is). Higher speed things are more important on servers that have to handle more and more connections, and the end of this horizontal expansion is not in sight. Everybody starts using the internet for more and more things, and this all has to end up on servers that have to handle connections from millions of clients.
