We moved to a 300/300 plan for $45 per month versus 500/40 @ $110. I noticed nothing different.
Yeah we have multiple devices, me with a large collection of PCs. But I’m not downloading stuff constantly. At most my GF is watching a show and on her phone while I play a game with friends online and using Discord.
1Gb fiber is optional, we can upgrade any time. But we save a bunch of money going with the 300 tier. Realizing now we would just be throwing money away for bragging rights.
I did discover Steam’s game sharing feature, so I can get games from one PC uploaded to another across my network. I don’t have a known data cap with the ISP, but this is something a friend has been happy to have with data caps. He’s planning to setup a steam game server, which is a whole separate project.
TL;DR go with gigabit fiber service if you absolutely need it or get a good discount. Otherwise it is probably a better deal with a lower tier.
