Some WISPs I know moved customers from 20 megabit/s wireless to 500 megabit fiber. Total usage in that subdivision 
changed about 5%.

It would meet some customers’ needs because multiple people could use 1G of service at a time. I think it is 
interesting to distinguish “>1G CPE” from “true 10G CPE” and I suspect many / most customers are looking for the 
former. 



Large upstream capacity has always been about aggregation of the downstream.

Can I ask a really dumb question? Consider it an xmas present. I know this sounds like "nobody needs more than 640k", 
but how can household possibly need a gig let alone 10g? I'm still on 25mbs DSL, have cut the cord so all tv, etc is 
over the net. If I really cared and wanted 4k I could probably upgrade to a 50mbs service and be fine. Admittedly it's 
just the two of us here, but throw in a couple of kids and I still don't see how ~100mbs isn't sufficient let alone 1 
or 10G. Am I missing something really stupid?
