Here in Spain too.

I don't see a need for it yet though. I'm a really heavy user (it specialist with more than a hundred devices in my networks) and I really don't need it.



These things are nice-to-have until they become sufficiently widespread that typical consumer applications start to require the bandwidth. That comes much later.

E.g.: 8K 60 fps video streaming benefits from data rates up to about 1 Gbps in a noticeable way, but that's at least a decade away form mainstream availability.


The other side of this particular coin is, when such bandwidth is widely available, suddenly a lot of apps that have worked just fine are now eating it up. I'm not looking forward to 9 gigabyte Webpack 2036 bundles everywhere :V


Yeah for me it's mostly ollama models lol. It is nice to see it go fast. But even on my 1gbit it feels fast enough.


Yeah the problem here is also that I don't have the router setup to actually distribute that kind of bandwidth. 2.5Gbit max..

And internal network is 1 Gbit too. So it'll take ) and cost) more than just changing my subscription.

Also my TV is still 1080p lol
