I agree that the vast majority never use anywhere near their Internet speed
limits. However, I'm in that 1% that actually has maxed out my 1Gbps
connection from time to time. I average around 3Tbytes of traffic per month.
When I switched to fiber, I elected to get the highest speed at the time and
grow into it. The price difference wasn't that much, which at the time it was
$59.99 for 500M or $79.99 for 1G.
They just raised my price a bit this past month to $84.99, but still not bad
for my usage.
