There's still no point in gigabit broadband

The author argues that gigabit broadband speeds remain impractical for most home users, despite receiving a 1Gbps connection from Virgin Media at a competitive price. While acknowledging that such speeds may become necessary in the future, they demonstrate that typical household activities—streaming, video calls, gaming, and even 4K content—require far less bandwidth, with most devices limited by hardware constraints rather than connection speed. The author suggests that for domestic use, including working from home, speeds above 100Mbps are rarely necessary.
