I used to agree with you back in the 90s, when the only people who paid for an internet connection were somewhat technically aware enough to know what speed they wanted, but not enough to know the difference between bits and bytes.

Today? I would argue 95% of people don't know or care how many kilobyte per second their Spotify uses, or how many gigabytes per minute watching Twitch at 1080p uses.

1000Mbps might as well say "1000 fastitude".
