"We've got a big pipe at work". To clarify, Patch Tuesday sucks at work possibly as much as it does with my home 20 Mbit/s wireless. If the source throttles the theoretical speed doesn't make a difference. I don't do high fps gaming, watch 4K videos, and so forth where I might see a radical difference. In a different context I am happy with my Suzuki V-Strom. The Hayabusa is much faster but I don't really need to do 300 kph. 170 is perfectly good. I'm not saying high speed fiber is never useful but for many people their day to day use may not make use of its potential. This phenomenon applies to many things.
