I'm paying $80/mo for nominally gigabit (usually tests out at 700+Mbit from the router, a bit lower for WiFi clients) with no bandwidth cap, and not in a market with much (or any) competition for really high-speed connections. What are people paying $300+/mo for, and is even remotely needed for something like this?

That's great for you and that is what it should cost but for a large portion of people that kind of bandwidth is not attainable for an affordable price.
