I don't think it makes a ton of sense to price it that way. I'm paying 60 for 80up/80down from Firs, and it's not 1/10th the value that Google fiber is.
I can't think of a common application that would work better with 1000 than 80. The only time I sit around waiting for downloads to finish is xbox downloads. And that's because MS severs aren't even saturating my connection.
I guess my usenet binaries will download faster but it already happens real fast.
I'd probably pay an extra 20 dollars for the novelty value. But a lot of working class folks wouldn't.
I agree it shouldn't be priced in that way, but it should be compared in that way. Leaving relative prices out of the equation is unfair / biased. Of course xfinity has more services, but it's cost per increment of speed is dramatically higher.
