Yeah most people won't notice much of a difference past 1gbps for now. A lot of the infrastructure hasn't caught up yet and a lot of people don't even have fast enough WIFI routers yet.

I upgraded from something like 200mbps to 1gbps a while back in my last place and I verified I had 1gbps but my download speeds even directly over ethernet were not much if at all faster from the sorts of places I typically download from. Like you said a lot of sites throttle.
