Comment on There's still no point in gigabit broadbandparent

I started with gigabit Fios when they first deployed in my area then ended up dropping to 300. As a single user, even if I'm saturating the link, I think I'm too used to being patient to accept waiting an extra few minutes or queueing up an overnight download for something massive.

Every online service I've used has been flawless, from streaming media to cloud gaming, and I'm in a fully wireless house with a single Ruckus AP covering it all.

I've seen over a thousand+ devices being covered by a 2Gbps pipe on a large network and not even saturate the link even during peak - and they were throttled to 150mbps per device.
