Yes for you and you're situation, but you're judging what others may need based on your needs - every ones needs and expectations are different
Indeed, once everyone has Gigabit then it becomes plausible to dramatically increase the quality of video streams which could be enormously useful for some kinds of work. Right now its kinda pointless trying to show someone anything on a livestream, its usually too poor quality to see properly.
Plus accessing the company Intranet as fast as if you were at work? Remote desktop without it feeling like one?
If I had Gigabit broadband already, I might not have just spent a fortune on SSDs. Due to my disabilities, I never know if or when I feel well enough to play a given game, so I have to keep as many varied games installed at the same time as possible, because it can take hours to download one and by then I don't feel well enough to play it.
People see gaming as a luxury, but its probably the only thing thats kept my mind active, my hand to eye coordination tuned and cardiovascular system healthy. Some days its the only thing worth getting out of bed for, the only sense of achievement I've gotten that day, week or month.
During the pandemic, imagine how useful a high quality VR chat solution could have been for loved ones to feel closer to each other? Right now I think the technology hugely gets in the way. I have a friend who lives about a mile away and I can't even reliably video chat to him and my connection(s) aren't even that bad.
Getting FTTP to as many people as possible should dramatically increase the reliability and consistency of the connection, as we won't have a system propped up by error correction, buggy modems and such wildly different latencies due to that, even if people don't get Gigabit. Plus of course, the risk of lightening taking out your whole network via the phone line is eliminated.
Believe me, my gut instinct used to be "lucky sods living in rural areas, they can't expect the same support as those of us in cities who aren't so lucky as to live in such a peaceful place" but I was a lot younger and before this forum. How anyone can be a regular here and still feel like that, I do not know.
