I think the idea is to kind of name and shame the ISPs into doing something to upgrade their shyte infrastructure. I don't really know for sure though. I'll say this: I have Verizon FiOS and it just sucks less than the others.
Fiber to the curb is amazing, and considering the languishing infra in many areas of the US Im not sure putting a box on my 1gbps link is going to tell much. The will likely screen us out anyway, we will mess with the data. MOST of the US does not have access to these speeds.
I have 300GiBs up and down. Even though it is the lowest cost tier at 49.95 a month, it's still way more than I need. I could honestly get away with 100 up and down.
90% of the time that is the case for me, then I go to work and need to push 8tb to a server somewhere. I have 1gbps so I can do work things and the family's multiple 4k streams are not interrupted.
That's a pretty sizeable amount of data you need to push. I've never even come remotely close to that.

So much for "unlimited" huh? Companies get away with too much and should not be allowed to use that word so willy-nilly. To my line of thinking that's lying.
