I saturate my 1G connection most during game downloads, file downloads/uploads, full backup uploads, etc.
Same here, but how often does this happen? I upload my videos to Youtube once a week, if not less, at the most. The kids, more regularly, but the 100Mbps I had before could cope. So what the 200Mbps gets me now is half the time, which isn't saying much.
I also self-host a lot of services for personal use and having that peak speed is really nice when you need it.
Nothing wrong with that, but if you had 500Mbps on a given Sunday, would you life be half as bad?
It also had no traffic limit per month which is my biggest complaint about the lower tier services and also a huge complaint I have with regards to the direction that residential services are moving towards.
Marketing at play :-). Mark.
