Mine neither... from my low-fi perspective, anything up to ~full hd (1920x1080) was a noticeable improvement, but e.g. going to 4K on a 43" screen does not feel any better... 
My comment was driven mostly by the observation that we are at a stage where (at the forefront of deployment) we make rates available far beyond what is necessary, e.g. in Switzerland xgspon which is marketed as up to 10 Gbps per user. The only things so far are 'more parallel' and 'faster downloads',  so the 80 Mbps streaming is novel in a sense even though of arguable utility.
