Obviously for downloads it's nice, but how often is that happening? A

Haha, that's the trick; they don't.
Because the logic is similar to yours - how often will customers be
pushing that much traffic, and if at all, for how long?
Most providers will sell 1Gbps without doing anything different to the
infrastructure, because they know most customers probably have no clue
about the difference between 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 802.11a, b, g, n, ac and ax,
Cat-5, 5e and 6, range extenders, boosters, the works.
If it were me, I'd do the same, as a 1Gbps consumer provider :-). Heck,
it's free money.
