I got unlimited, synchronous 1 Gbps a year ago and I agree that for day-to-day applications it’s not much different from the 250 Mbps I was getting from Comcast. There are a few noteworthy exceptions for me: (1) It’s much easier to maintain a good torrent ratio (2) Large backups, like system images, to the cloud are much more feasible now. (3) Comcast limited me to 1.2 Tb a month which sounds like a lot until you realize how quickly you can kill that downloading modern games.
In general I think less about my internet service now. It’s not at all life changing but it’s nice.
Had to get gigabit to lower our bill. We’ve had unlimited, but like you said, games are huge nowadays. Me from a decade ago wishes I spent more on internet back then.
