@jannem@fosstodon.org @blog I get frustrated when downloading games from Playstation or Steam when I max out 1 Gb/s. In particular because I'm actually paying for 2 Gb/s but all my wired gear is 1.
Now I'm being offered 10 Gb for 50 SGD so perhaps I need to upgrade all my hardware.

@loke@functional.cafe @blog Yes, bursty stuff like that definitely benefits (same when I need to move data between work and home when I work remotely). An especially if another family member is trying to do something at the same time. For the provider we're probably at the point where sub-1G equipment is starting to become unavailable; it may be cheaper to upgrade users than to keep providing the old service.
