I'm more than fine with 100/100 no cap for $18 a month after currency (€/$) conversion.
The problem is the shitty latency in almost every game so I hate playing online, although PS NOW's performance is incredible (I can even play good games of freaking Raiden IV Overkill ffs), so YMMV.
This is in Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain).

also have WOW and I'm pretty sure this connection's 1GB on Ethernet/a computer with a wireless card that isn't garbage (or at least it was performing like that back when I had this plugged in via Ethernet)
but this computer barely manages a tenth of that on wifi. and it's super fucking jarring because it still gets the full upload stream, somehow

$45 for 100/100 which is plenty for gaming & media streaming. Only my wife and I in the house. I honestly can't imagine why I would need more lol. I never have buffering in movies (Hulu, Netflix, etc.) and gaming is smooth... and that was even when I was 50/50.
I guess if I want to download that multi-gig game right NOW ... but I am patient in my old age for the most part. It can DL while I sleep.
EDIT: This is just now, with my wife watching Netflix, and me playing WoW, and my daughter browsing our Plex Media looking for her graduation videos (so she is not really using any bandwidth yet ;P)

I've been on gigabit for about four years now. I get about 900 down and about 950 up for $80/month.
The real advantage is the latency, or lack thereof.

No upgrade plans, as we have 350Mbs for 19,99/month and it has felt good enough. 1Gbs would cost something like 50/month and I rather save that 30/month as it feels like current console HDDs are more limiting to downloads than the network.
I thought so too, but after becoming used to gigabit for a few years and then moving to another city I felt I had to upgrade from the standard 100 to 250. It makes a big difference when downloading hundreds of gigabytes of patches/games every month.

I used to be on 54meg down 12 up (UK. Fibre to the cabinet. Copper the rest of the way). This was nice and certainly better than the 2meg down I used to get. Stuff would download at a reasonable speed.
Then Virgin Media came to town and said "Hey Hellers. Would you like 350meg?" YES PLEASE. I ended up having to run everything over a mesh wifi setup because my powerline ethernet couldn't cope but it's nice when your iphone speedtest throws up results of 387meg down and 37meg up.
The best part is by 2021 Virgin plan to have their entire UK network upgraded to gigabit.
I just wish the Nintendo download network wasn't made of hopes and wishes because even on my Mesh it reckons it's going to take nearly 5 hours to download the Witcher 3. OH NINTENDO!

I've had 1000/1000 for over a year, and don't have a cap. Use to it by now and take situations like you mentioned for granted. It's great. I pay $95 / month.
Not having a cap is super useful. I'm constantly streaming Vue on devices in my house. There's Youtube usage, gaming, Netflix, etc. I would absolutely not be able to stay under the 1TB /month cap that Comcast was enforcing.
I pay 90$ and I get 150 mps download and I think 15 upload.......its a decent price I guess since it also includes cable and phone.
I am from Puerto Rico mind you

Seems so expensive here in the UK I got Virgin 350 down 20 up with a landline and pay £38 a month. Every January they have a huge new customer deal push and every January I tell them to match the price or keep my price or I'll leave. In truth though 350 is overkill I may go down to 100 to save a few bob.
LOL. I'm paying $62 a month for 100Mbps and also have a 1TB cap. I could have 200Mbps for $76 a month with a 2TB cap, but I rarely ever hit the current cap (I've come close many times during months of 4K streaming marathons) and honestly don't need to extra speed right now. They do have a 500Mbps service as well, but it's $149 a month, which is a ripoff.
I'm hoping for 5G home broadband to be this good one day (I shall wait until 2022 onwards to see what happens). Three are pre advertising it for £35 a month and reviews say it's average download speeds are 500 giagabit.
I wish the UK had infrastructure for this kind of speed 1 gig onwards) cable wise commercially and readily available.

39$ a month in Switzerland. The low upload speed is due to the network card drivers, when I do the speed test on my TV I get 950/950.
Feels good.
edit: Also heavily depends on the server:
Before that I had 100/10 for twice the price...

Virgin Media is currently testing their Docsis 3.1 hub, the 1 gbit service will probably launch within a year.
1gb fibre should be installed in my village (France) before the end of November. They have already done everywhere around and are working in the village before mine as I write this.
I don't think that I will get the full 1gb but I will see.
Unlimited at €28 a month for the first year which will then be €44. Can't fucking wait

Most PC game clients? Unless you found a secret way to get faster download speeds out of them.
Edit: I might be being capped by my SSD, but I don't know why I would be.

Internet in the US sure is expensive. I pay half that for the same speed, in a country with way higher living costs than the US.
I've always been curious, as to why the pricepoint in the UD is so high? Is the market monpolistic?
Yes. There are plenty of providers but the overlap is abysmal. And even when there is overlap the service and speeds are usually far better by one provider, which is as good as a monopoly.
