I&#x27;ve got 1gig via hyperoptic in London.<p>Compared to the 80&#x2F;20 VDSL I had before, browsing is pretty much the same. The difference between enabling and disabling adblock is far far greater than having 1gig.<p>Uploading files is generally a lot quicker.<p>However, most internet services can&#x27;t handle it. I rarely get more than 1-2mbyte&#x2F;sec to bitbucket or git for example, which is annoying since that can be painfully slow on large repos.<p>Even worse, hard drives struggle to keep up with high internet speeds. SSDs are fine, but considering how quickly you can fill even a large SSD you don&#x27;t really want to be using them for giant file downloads which can take advantage of it.<p>Finally, WiFi really can&#x27;t deliver 1gig or anything close to it. I often drop back to 2.4GHz WiFi in some areas of my apartment and that is by far the biggest drawback.<p>So really, you only get 1gig or anything close when you&#x27;re on a very fast server or protocol, downloading to an SSD on ethernet.
