I've currently got gigabit fiber internet where I live (a tiny segment of the Minneapolis market) and although it is fast I can't say that it has dramatically improved much of my online experiences. Downloading happens much faster in most cases, but I don't do a whole lot of downloading and often times the rates are limited by the provider of the content. Websites seem to load up about as fast as they used to. The rest of the internet needs to catch up before fiber connections can truly be utilized.
