    Meh, he has a point. For WFH I do a lot of large file transfers, often, plus Teams meetings, and streaming media. I have found 300 is OK, 500 is ideal. 1gig is not really worth the extra cost, unless it is symmetrical. Even then though the receiver often can’t receive at that high speed.

      It’s getting cheaper and cheaper. For me 1 gb is fantastic for wfh, multiple gamer children, video streaming, photo uploads and nobody notices when I’m downloading 100gb of data. Again everybody’s situation is different, so for me 1gb has been huge. And that makes the blanket statement about it not being worth it false.
