Have we reached a saturation point for broadband speeds in India?

For ott 200mbps is good, Torrent mostly bottlenecks at 200mbps, if you look at multiple thread download from/upload to Indian servers, there speed cap is hardware limitation. For such cases I prefer 500mbps, 1gbps is also great with nvme but that is waste of money when actual requirement of that speed is not more than 30mins per day. Mach1 gives 500mbps at dirt cheap price of 500+ gst per month for 6months upfront but pmtu fails

Tech & Telecom Buff
Just like most things in Telecom, Jio pivoted the broadband market towards more about pointless OTTs and TV experience rather than speeds. The market sentiment is about who can give better value in their plans with additional OTTs and Live TV experience. Other ISPs have to follow Jio's approach or lose out on customers. So unless Jio changes up their approach, the market is not moving towards more speed or more FUP. And a handful of users wanting more speed or FUP are less than a drop of water in the ocean.
Ideally minimum speed should be 100Mbps anywhere in India with either no FUP or atleast higher FUP limits atleast with higher tier plans. A 30Mbps plan with 3.3TB is understandable but 1Gbps plan with 3.3TB is just a joke.
And one more thing would be Fiber everywhere pairing with proper Wifi hardware preferably Wifi6. Enough of this AirFiber bullshit.
Alas it is just wishful thinking.

Point no. 1 will see a longer fight only if tech industry stands united against these pesky telco operators, no.2 will never happen due to work load since not a national emergency, no.3 FUP should not be there atleast not in braodband space so only no.4 is plausible but again since lesser than 100 Mbps is a good business model to fool the villagers and is actually required by some city people so not gonna happen.
All these will need stringent compliance, which will never see daylight

It is somewhat surprising though that there is not a single multi gig residential plan available in the entire country.I mean most ISPs use GPON which is fully capable of supporting 2/1(DL/UL) Gbps connections.
An ONT with a single 2.5 gbps port isn’t very expensive.
In a market where customers have been conditioned to pay 3999+ tax for 1 Gbps a relatively small ISP could disrupt the market by offering 2 Gbps for less and still make plenty of money but no one seems to have tried this.
Not that 1 Gbps isn’t already more than enough but am curious as to why nobody has tried offering 2Gbps since people who are prepared to pay 4K/month for an Internet connection do exist in this country.
Heck even Nepalis have multigig broadband in Kathmandu these days!

What I fear is
Someday jio fiber doubling speeds to kill broadband competition
