Re:Typical U.S. households don’t use most of their bandwidth

Recently downgraded to $35/mo comcast 60 down performance tier because I have low bandwidth usage (1-2 simultaneously connected devices, little streaming with a downloaded collection on a local plex server).
Really wish I had the option to pay for better latency and less jitter, which matter much more for my needs. I know the ISPs probably don't even have the infrastructure to offer reliable internet, which is 100% on them even if the general consumer only cares about Netflix getting throttled. Funnily, Verizon claims to offer "Fios" in my building with plans that are clearly not FTTH.
