The problem, at least in north America non-fiber options, is that until you get to a gigabit pipe in the downstream direction, you're often stuck with just 30mbps in the upstream direction. You get 50mbps with gigabit.

But otherwise, I agree. I've had a 300/30 cable connection for many years now, and my network monitoring tells me that we rarely use it to its full capacity.

My main reason for wanting faster is to do offsite backups, which would take an unreasonably long time at 30mbps.
