    I’m backing up my physical media so I pretty regularly move hundreds of GB around. That would take forever on a 1G network.

    I also take a ton of GoPro video(skydiving/motorcycle). An hour of 360 footage is ~50GB. So just moving that around is cumbersome.

    I have a 5G fiber connection and even my wireless access point(AP) is 10G. Sure, you can’t get that to a single device(WiFi) but my phone connects at 2.4G up/down. So ~3 modern phones downloading games or whatever has the possibility to saturate my internet connection. They could saturate the AP by downloading media from my backups for offline playback for a flight or whatever.
