In my area, I have access to 10 Gbps internet via my ISP. It's a question of value for homes—depends on how many devices you use.

Only when you frequently send large files—tens of gigabytes or more—is the size manageable, ideally 2–3 times weekly throughout the month.

It seems like you're suggesting an alternative action. Would you like to explore other options?

Likely not. Generally, individuals would require around 30 Mbps on their own, 100 Mbps for a household for a satisfactory connection. I think most users here aim for roughly 100 Mbps for personal use (to show off) and double it for the family. For 10 Gbps, most devices can only manage about 1 Gbps at the moment, making it impractical unless it's extremely affordable.

Unless your ISP's package includes a 10Gbps upgrade, I'd prefer to stay with what you already have. I wouldn't consider 500Mbps as a free upgrade, especially since that's the highest speed your current plan could offer. Edited September 7, 2020 by Eighjan

I reduced my 300Mbit internet speed to 30Mbit since I no longer require it, thinking it’s a good way to save some money. The decision is yours.

For a 10 Gbps connection, you don’t have to worry about the cost.

It relies on factors like cost and available bandwidth. You should provide more details for a better recommendation. The best chance is no, but without knowing your specific situation, it's just an assumption.
