Sometimes it’s not about what you can do now, but in the future.
Some months ago I’ve watched a documentation about a small village in Germany with abysmal internet access and how how multiple companies there struggled to do any work beyond being a bakery.
There was a construction company pre-building blocks for houses out of lumber and their CNC machining required stable internet access. They weren’t able to work for days because of fluctuations.
I have a one gigabit line here at my home and even I struggle sometimes uploading bigger assets to my company’s servers.
I like the approach Switzerland went with. If you tear up the road, put down the most modern infrastructure available at the moment. Don’t bother with “good enough for the moment”.

Bet that bakery didn’t have a measly 1gb fiber though, so it’s not really relevant IMO.
