I have 2 x 100Mbit FullDuplex switched Ethernet to my appartment (currently only using one).
The Area of (about) 100 connected users is connected through a Gigabit connection to our local ISP that has ha (today) 96Mbit connection to the internet, 155Mbit connection to the Swedish University Network and 100-1000Mbit connections to the other networks in our Town.
I know lots of people who can spend lots of $ for that last Mhz.
I have worked a one of the national centers of High Performance Computing in sweden and they have users that runs jobs on everything that has a CPU and a UNIX OS. For them a faster CPU is of greate value especially for things that is hard to parallel.
