I'd say that faster delivery to your door will reduce the likelihood of congestion on the internet in general. so you may not really notice it massively better but it ought not get any worse as traffic keeps increasing, for instance with working from home.
For browsing and sending email I don't think you'd notice much difference. When it comes to downloading & streaming stuff you would - they would be able to stream higher quality content without buffering, or you could download entire films in not very long at all.
The Internet of Things (incl home automation) adds some overhead to the internet. The traffic from this is probably individually minute but collectively is probably growing quite quickly, and reduce slow response to commands It's no use asking Alexa to turn on a light but it taking 30 seconds for it to happen. Have you ever tried getting any sense out ofg Google Home or Alexa when the internet isn't present?
By default all the brands of switches and lights I use - mostly Sonoff, Tuya, Xiaomi - would send even a simple on command to a light via the manufacturers server, which for some is in China. So one aim of the Home Assistant I run is to not be dependent on the internet for controlling devices in your household, and I'm sure this will become more common, though with a more reliable and fast internet maybe it's less important.
