I see people mentioning 2gbps service, does that come with a 10g nic to be able to use it?
150/150 mbps is enough foranyoneme. For now...
And how do you connect to the modem? You still need a 10g nic to be able to achieve 2g speed.No. The Comcast 2gbps service comes with the modem to support it (with additional rental fee) and they tack on a $500 installation fee and $500 activation fee even if you run everything your self.

Very few consumers really need 1gb internet. The infrastructure across the nation just does not take advantage of those speeds at this time. secondly for average web browsing it does not really improve the experience, STEAM downloads are still capped and slow as well as most other things you would download on the internet, uploading to youtube well just sucks period, so in reality lots of things need to change before internet that fast is even practical for the consumer.
I see your problem. You have xfinity. I'm so sorry...
I'm currently living in Korea and have had 1gb service for the last 6 months for free as part of a "try & buy" deal. From next month, I will be paying $30/mo with no data caps and am fine with that. Just fine.
This is part of the reason why we really do need 1gbps service to the home. It will force these ISPs to upgrade their 20+ year old infrastructure (since the taxpayers already paid for it anyway...) and put our residential services on par or better than the rest of the world. There was a time when people cared about infrastructure and economic development in the US.
Lesson learned kids. If you like your internet, don't move to a rural area.
I fixed your mistake.
There's almost no sense, unless the provider increases their upload bandwidth to better utilize a 1gb/s pathway or your family primarily streams content to their devices.
I'm at 60mb/s, with my provider moving slowly toward 100mb, and my upload speed is still locked at ~5mb/s (on a good day) as it has been for the last 13 years I've owned my home. I moved in with 10mb, with 20mb becoming available about five years later and 30mb five years after that.
My largest problem is thrashing and latency driven by the outbound traffic fighting to get out when I have the kids on their PS4 and computers while I'm gaming and my wife is trying to Skype.
I'd settle most happily for a lowering of my download speeds in order to better my overall throughput by raising outbound transfer speeds. But, so far my requests over the years have fallen on deaf ears.
I pay 10€ for 1 GBPS. Is ok at this price. It is nice to download with 100 MB.
It won't force them to do anything they will just "operating as it is supposed to". I have been in the data centers of some of these large companies and they are decrepit.This is part of the reason why we really do need 1gbps service to the home.

Isn't there also like $1k worth of installation and equipment setup fees for that 2Gbps plan? A symmetrical connection would be really nice, though.Here in ABQ, comcast offers 2 Gbps (up/down), but it's almost $300 per month. I wish I could even just get 100/100 or 50/50 for a much reduced price, I don't need 2 Gbps.

I was waiting for first euro to come post that in here.
unfortunately that doesn't apply to the rest of north america.
Which probably 10x-100x the size of what ever small euro country you are in.
Easy there grammar police! Need has become synonymous with "will this actually be useful to me" over the years. Do people "need" the internet, yes they do, will they die without it? No but they NEED it, just like a drug addict "needs" drugs. Now that said, your third line is in fact the question. So stop being such a stick in the mud about the "proper definition" of need.I wish people would stop asking about "need".
The only things humans need is air, food and water. Everything else is a luxury.
How USEFUL is 1GB internet compared to slower offerings? THAT is a good question.
Every time someone asks "Why do you need...", I want to belt them across the forehead with a sharpened entrenching tool.
