Come a long way since Mr Strowger.
Hard to see the need for lots of Gigabits per second right now, but look how the numbers have grown since you and I started in this game. Even in the internet era I happily used dial up internet to get at emails in the 80s. We couldnt have imagined the data requirements that some people have even now never mind in 10 or 20 years from now.
My younger lad has just upgraded to fttp connection. His reasoning was that with 2 adults working mainly from home, 2 growing boys who will have data needs pretty soon, he will have domestic needs for potentially 4 different streaming devices for entertainment/gaming in addition to work needs before too long
