To be fair, it all trickles down to home users eventually. We’re starting to see 10+gbps fiber in enthusiast home networks and internet connections. Small offices are widely adopting 100gbps fiber. It wasn’t that long ago that we were adopting 1 gigabit ethernet in home networks, and it won’t be long before we see widespread 800+ gigabit fiber.
Streaming video is definitely a big application where more bandwidth will come in handy, I think also transferring large AI models in the 100s of gigabytes may also become a large amount of traffic in the near future.
Yup, my city has historically had mediocre Internet, and now they’re rolling out fiber and advertising 10g/s at a relatively reasonable $200/month.
I’m probably not getting it anytime soon (I’m happy with my 50/20 service), but I know a few enthusiasts who will. I’ll see what the final pricing looks like and decide if it’s worth upgrading my infrastructure (only have wireless AC, so no point in going above 300mbps or so).
