News 50 Gigabit Internet Can Be Yours for Only $900 a Month

That really depends on your habits. At 100 mbps, that'd take about an hour. It would feel like too long if you're just sitting and waiting for the game to play.

I'm not it a rush to play a game. I already have multiple games on my computer. Typically I install a game weeks or even months ahead of when I plan to play it. As there are others already installed in my queue. Which I'm going to play first.

If that was all my plan offered. I'd throttle the download to 10 mbps. Letting it download all day if necessary and not effect any other services in my house. I've got Gig internet though. I can let it download much faster. Not that it matters for me. As it won't effect when I'll play it.

The only reason I have a gigabit plan is for no data cap. As a 1TB cap isn't enough when everyone is watching streaming video and no OTA/cable.

Ah, you should try patching new world. Usually takes around 15 minutes on a gigabit connection, because it has to patch the whole +80 GB for some reason.
Doing that at 100mbit or 10mbit, by the time it's done you would have fallen asleep waiting for the patcher to complete...

Just installed BG3, a whopping 120 GB download. Cannot imagine having to wait until that is done downloading on a 100 mbit connection. Even on mine it was a 30 minute wait before I could start playing my new purchase.
