Maybe not 2 Gigs but if you go with 1 Gig, Fidium doesn't charge you rent for their router, saving $120 a year.
Also, with computers, more capacity than you need means, generally, things run more smoothly. If you think you might need a terabyte of disk storage, buy 2 terabytes. Going from 1G to 2G on Fidium cost an extra $180 a year. If you are working from home with video conferencing, easily worth it.
Also consider that your usage allowance on the fiber is a small portion of its total capacity. When there are problems on the line (unpredictably), your throughput drops, perhaps to a point where it affects your operations. If you have twice the capacity to begin with, it takes longer for any performance degradation to have an actual impact on your usage. If you are a casual user, maybe that doesn't matter to you.
