I had gigabit a long time ago, and while it was nice, I'm unwilling to pay for it. 50/25 is good enough for me, and it costs less than half what gigabit would cost ($55/month vs $125/month). I just checked, and apparently all plans have half the upload vs download, so that's nice.

Our new service promises to be $60-70 for 250 symmetric, and that would only get me 100/50 at my current ISP, so I'll probably be getting that upgrade when it's available.
