For a while the maximum connection speed I could order was limited to 1 gbps. No XGS-PON here, the fiber rollout was 20 years ago in my neighbourhood so it's still the older standard. But interestingly they're now offering 4 gbps connections on the older standard as well.

I'm not sure how many home users order that, given the extra cost of 10g switches, NICs etc and then 90% of usage being via WiFi that only just makes it to 1 gbps. But it makes a lot of sense for businesses with multiple users sharing one connection.
