Right now I’m still figuring out why I got gigabit speeds—I’ve only managed 500MBPS so far, which was from Steam. Just a note though, you could get 10gigabits for $299 a month if you chose my service. My provider does provide 500Mbps too, and I’m planning to switch to it to save about $25 each month (currently paying $70). The real advantage is the fiber connection; the lower latency is impressive and the speed feels instant.
Running an overclocked 8700k isn't worth it for me. I mainly rely on a harddrive for my big downloads. It's not a major problem with my 860 evo, but I usually don't transfer large files to it, so the extra speed wouldn't make much difference. I also rarely download big files at all. Most of the time I use streaming services and play games, which don't consume much bandwidth.
Once had about 3Mbps, I’d start a download before bed and wait for it to wrap up in the morning haha.
