Is it me? Or are people happy paying for bandwidth they don't and can't actually use? The best I can figure is having 1Gbps internet is virtue signaling today. Google is upping the bar with 20Gbps, apparently. Unless you have a cloud business with hundreds of servers, having that kind of bandwidth is a complete waste. Streaming a 4K video only requires about 32Mbps. So even if you're Streaming on 2 monitors, you're still less than 100Mbps. Personally, I use well under 10Mbps of bandwidth at the most. Then you also require all the switches between the server and your computer to have that kind of bandwidth. Crazy shit!
