That's a *bit* on the high side, I would think.

My house runs between 10-15 Mbps sustained. When we do our 4K upgrade
next year, that will be between 50-75Mbps sustained depending on
HDR/non-hdr content and codec type.

Me too. Just checked our traffic, and we've actually got a 95th
percentile of less than 500 Kbps (although in November/December
we were running closer to 1.5 Mbps). We can go way higher than
that due mostly to where we are on the network, but we can't (or
don't choose to) saturate our online-ness like a millennial.

I can get 30Mbps at home on my 450. I might hit 25-30 to

probably not. And yeah, mine is free. :)
I guess I'm just not an average millennial. Meh.

Available if child qualifies for school lunch program. Not a
contract or promo price. And you don’t have to live in public
housing.
I do realize typical residential pricing is around $50/mo.
What I’m saying is the “free” price was ridiculous, especially
since Google Fiber is so holier-than-thou showing the other
ISPs how it’s done. It was either a stunt to get municipal
approval, or they honestly believed 10 Mbps was so lame that
most people would rather pay for gigabit.
No matter what their logic, increasing your minimum tier from
$0 to $50 is a helluva price increase. It would certainly seem
to offer the local cable and telephone companies an opportunity
to offer 10 Mbps at something less than $50, maybe around $30.
And maybe get some cable TV revenue. Because lots of people
will still be happy with a meager 10 Mbps if it’s affordable,
no matter what the elites think. Just like some people are
fine with French’s mustard instead of Grey Poupon, and beer
instead of wine.

I am under the impression you are not familiar with common
metro broadband pricing.
Honestly.
I have a rather large spreadsheet of major North American fiber
/ cable / DSL providers, contracts, misc fees, etc.
Once you get past the "contract promo" pricing, seeing 10Mbps
for $45-55+ a month is far from uncommon - especially for the
cable cos, which sucks when you see that 10Mbps stay at 2-4Mbps
during peak because of how vastly over provisioned much of
those networks are.
That said, their 1Gbps pricing (which they want customers on,
as gpon ports aren't free in the strategic sense) really stoked
a fire under most of the providers asses.

Free was silly. But hiking the minimum tier from $0 to $50
is kind of extreme. They must have been surprised how many
people were OK with a mere 10 Mbps at America’s favorite price.
Comcast’s $10 price is more reasonable than either $0 or $50.
