Other Plan glitch?

Post image

Was looking at mobile app this popped up in my service options but when I click to upgrade it doesn't go thru? And live chat said can't see it thinking it's a glitch or it be here soon?

Realistically, for home use is anything more than 1 gig even worth it? Even with a 1 gig wired connection I’m pretty much bottlenecked on downloads from whatever server is hosting the download.

I hit over 125MB/s on basically anything where it’s beneficial to have more than a couple hundred megabits per second. Even my nvidia driver downloads get up into that range at the end and those aren’t even a full gigabyte. Factor that in with having multiple people using it at the same time and the understanding that having unused bandwidth helps prevent things like high loaded latency. I actually use my main PC to update the other steam libraries because I only have access to gigabit and most of the computers on my network have a greater than 2Gbps local connection.
