| We currently have 100mb up/down, and for roughly 20 euros extra per month, you can get 500mb. When the fuck am I ever going to need a roughly 60MB per second download speed..?

you won't for at least the next 5 years
by then 4k streaming will likely be a standard and data hogs will need more bandwidth
in other words this person wants to watch one thing while the other wants a different
so they are both streaming 4k simultaneously
while the 3rd sibling is gaming and or streaming games like the ps4 now can do
all 3 while the parents are tying to surf the web ect
that is most likely going to be the typical american family in 5 years

the 4k argument isn't as big as you think it is, once h.265/HEVC is widely used, current file sizes will be half as large for the same quality.
8k tho. plus streaming video games in the future (not video game streaming)

| well multiple streams of anything will impact performance. obviously if he had more people in his house he would need faster internet, I just assumed he was referring to himself specifically

im lucky to have a non shit provider in the US. the prices aren't bad, its pretty stable, goes down once every 2 months or so, and they don't care about piracy or their bandwidth "cap" , which I exceed every month by like 500GB
we even got rid of our cable and telephone from them and only kept the internet, and there hasn't really been any issue. I think its because Cox as far as I know isn't owned by any media corporations or has any ties to them, unlike the other 2 big ones above it Comcast which is NBC and time warner which is like everything afaik
