50Mbps at my house.
I find that its plenty. Then again I don't torrent very often.
Game. Stream. Work. Family of 4.
I'm done arguing FTTH with you guys. I can see why, if available, and the same price, one would want gig speeds.
Roll on gigabit warriors!

There is no reason why it shouldn't be available for google fiber prices after the filthy amount of money the ISPs are raping us for with shitty internet. It's great to have this much bandwidth and not have any cap limit or restrictions. I can do all kinds of shite a normal user wouldn't be doing and not effect my wife's netflix watching abilities.

Literally dozens of reasons why it can't be in most areas.

HD streaming, torrenting, pc and console gaming, running other multiple devices, two smart tv, cloud storage, thinking about running a server soon.
The key here is bandwidth, not speed. Being able to torrent, game, stream your gaming, download a game or 4, keep a server online, all while your wife and daughter are watching separate HD streams -- that's not the average household, but it's certainly a very real and common enough scenario for us to consider.
Loopback is crying about wasting bandwidth because we won't notice our streams or webpages loading faster. The bigger picture is the need to get uncapped gigabit fiber to be commonplace in the 'average' household. Not because we all need it for our own use now, but because it leads to other services scaling to take advantage of it. It would be nice to have access to streaming services that deliver uncompressed (or far less compressed) FHD or 4K video, or at the very least, have cloud storage solutions for large files that are just as quickly accessible as your own local network.
If I can afford it when Gb fiber is available at my house, I will get it, even if I can't find a torrent with enough seeders to hit full saturation. Even if my router's WAN to LAN bottlenecks me by 10-20%, even if I still don't have a house full of 4K displays to stream simultaneous UHD videos. I want to contribute to the demand.
I neither understand nor have any patience for people who shite on progress because the status quo works for them.

Yeah, a-hole ISPs lobbying for legislation to stop it. EPB isn't afraid to run it out to the rural folks around here, ISPs are using the Tennessee legislators to try and stop it from happening.
No reason it can't happen in pretty much any city right now with the backing of a big ISP. Chattanooga proved that doing it first in the USA without Google or any ISP. We did get a nice jab from Tony Stark in IM3 about how we have terrible slow internet for showing the way.

I'm not, I have gig service for $70 a month which is mostly paid by my wife's work. It's great, more people need it. I have no cap or commercial use restrictions on it as well.

I have a wifi extender in my 2 story house and it works great. My router supports both 2.4 and 5 ghz and the extender only supports 2.4. I use the 5ghz channel downstairs in close proximity to my router, mostly for streaming video to my TV (5ghz signal doesn't have as long of range as 2.4 ghz so it helps to be close to the router). Thus, it makes sense that the extender only supports 2.4 ghz since you will be using it long range. I put the extender upstairs where I got the best wifi signal (which is directly above the main router).

Just an FYI, but extenders cut your bandwidth in half.

Depending on the tower, the longest part of that process is getting the case panel off and then back on. Seriously, it's like a 3-4 minute job total.
