> with consumer internet connections being 1000up/down
Step out of your Silicon Valley bubble and recognize that this doesn't apply to everyone.
I only have 30 megabit up/down with Frontier. I can get faster, but it gets expensive quick, and I don't need more than 30 mbps, even as a gamer. Xfinity only offers 150 megabit down in my neighborhood, with a puny 15 megabit up, and for twice the price.
And as others have mentioned, it creates a single point of failure and if you get hacked, your entire home network is compromised. The last thing you want to have happen is for some unsavory type to decide they don't like you or your services and DDoS your home internet connection. I've had it happen to me and it's not fun.
"Step out of your Silicon Valley bubble" ...
I have Business Fiber Internet package from Bell in my house in Toronto. Residential area far from city core with an old houses, definitely not a Silicon Valley. 1000 up and down. It costs me $80 Canadian pesos. Not bad.
Im in the same boat as you (350/350 for $35 tho) but we are outliers even in the Canadian market. Fast internet is just now getting to everyone at affordable prices, even though ive personally had gigabit for 4 years.
