I can make up credible scenarios where a home with 4-5 people would need 
200-300 megabit/s of reliably available bandwidth, plus downloading 
something large, then you can make use of a gig. So not "way" unneeded.

I do have problems coming up with scenarios where you need more than a 
gig.

Business users actually use *less* bw than residential. People typically 
don't watch 4k video streams at work.

Btw, what does that report say? I don't want to spend money on it.
