The issue here is economics. 1G hardware is cheap, as in sub-$100 for a 1G CPE with SMF in one side and RJ45 out the other. Even if you decide to limit yourself at 100m or similar, if you build it at the optics side, it is more expensive than building at 1G. Because of this, 1G is the most sensible speed/solution. I believe that many people won’t get a real quantity of usage from their links because they will be on 2.4ghz wifi regardless. If you have your home wired, you might get something faster but the largest users these days tend to be adaptive streaming video which uses around 16Mb/s for a 4K stream from Netflix, or software updates from Apple. Speaking of which, since 8.4 is launching next week and tends to be one of the larger internet events these days (more so than victoria secret turned out to be by ratio) I’m awaiting a surge of software updates for all the iDevices around the world. - Jared

Similar to the concept of price elasticity in economics, going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your average transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone care to comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing push than anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really cool.
