In my area geetting that higher bandwidth is at least an extra $50/month and I’m being conservative. That’s $600/year just to download games quicker.
That means that if you’re buying a new massive game once every month and a half you’re paying just as much for bandwidth to download the game as you’re paying for the game.
This is not good value unless you have so much disposable income that you don’t even know what to do with it.
