I am actually astonished that people expect a connection like this to be anything but saturated at peak times.

Ask someone on Bredbandsbolaget Sweden or NTTK fibre in Japan how often they see 100Mbit or anywhere near

The PON networks they run on split 622Mbit downstream and only 155Mbit between 32 homes. Server 100Mbit down each of those, well, you can see the issues.

As the max speeds go up, so the % of that max speed you can expect to reliably get goes down.
