For some people internet is like electricity (or even more important, I can go 10 hours without electricity with UPS). It is a baseline for consideration to even start.

How long it takes to upload 500GB video, dataset or docker images on 250/50mbps DSL line? 24 hours in theory! Like two days in reality!

On 1gbps it is 1.3 hours in theory, about 2 hours in practice!

I understand that most people do not need such connectivity, but for many people it is question of staying productive and profitable. I work in remote team, and we do share such data quite often.

DSL line is good as a backup, but it is useless. Perhaps I could deal with limited speed. But latency and throughput goes to hell when under load. I would have to pause all other traffic while making calls!

In Romania I have 4 plans in single flat. Fiber, ADSL, and two unlimited (like no speed throttle) 5G SIMs. About 90 euro monthly.
