I have 5Gbps symmetrical. I love having it, but the biggest use-case has been bragging about it to my colleagues. I haven't even had the full bandwidth available at my desk for a while now (I've had a terrible time terminating cat6a for reliable 10Gbe, so I'm usually on wifi), and it hasn't really bothered me much.

Even 1Gbps has been hard to justify for me TBH, most things over the internet aren't fast enough.

The nice thing though, is that latency is great independent of other traffic as bandwidth is pretty much never saturated
