Realistically, this is pretty close to true with 2gbps symmetric, too. My provider seems to give me 2.2gbps in practice.
PS5 downloads/updates are 500-600mbps in practice. Steam is 1.5gbps or so. Most other things-- streaming, video calling, etc, are under 40mbps. So, you know-- if I kick off a PS5 download, and a steam update, and my kids are streaming and video calling... And my machines are backing up to the cloud at 1.5gbps (other direction)... and I decide to do a big apt-get update on a machine, maybe my steam update completes a couple seconds later.
Of course, I want even faster... but I'm hard pressed to say what would be better.
