Nice to have I suppose, but does the end consumer really need all of that?

Windows updates are getting pretty big you know.

Imagine that, I could single handedly slow down YouTube for the whole of South Africa with that bandwidth

VR ain't as bad on speed for future maybe but not here in this country. Hell, when I was watching an American ISP talking about average data speed for USA households, that... is an eye opener

All still pointless....if the WWW servers are still in the stone age? Nevermind ISP's

The sound of that one flying over my comprehension level.

A bit pointless. Most web servers can't even handle 1Gbps properly... a waste of money for the general public.
