1 Gbps broadband plans have become popular amongst consumers. A few years back, it was hard for people to imagine getting 100 Mbps speed comfortably sitting in their homes. But things have changed now and technology has evolved for the better. Now 100 Mbps has become a common thing. What’s more, 1 Gbps plans have become quite popular amongst the consumers as well. Of course, this plan might not be opted by a regular person or a family since there is no need for that kind of speed, yet some people who stream a lot and download heavy files every day have opted for this plan. Offices and small businesses have also shown a lot of interest on the 1 Gbps plans.
