I currently have 300mb fiber and was wondering if 1gig would be worth it. We have 4 PC/laptops, 1 tablet, 4 phones, and about 10 other Internet connected devices. Most devices are on WiFi and seem to get about 50mb to 100mb speed. Would gig Internet really help that out?
The applications that use that bandwidth most likely don’t exist yet. 5g and fiberglass are going to help us do things like self driving cars that need to exchange lots of data quickly with other cars in the neighborhood. Refrigerators that want to share data with your store. Robot cooks that need to download large models to perform their actions. Etc etc etc
The applications for this don’t exist yet, but once 5g is fully deployed that could move quite fast.
So no, you don’t need it now. But you might need it in 2-5years. It’ll also increase your download speed. So if it’s not to expensive why not.
