Moving into an apartment and debating 1G internet speeds - is it worth it? (alien.top)

Was wondering just how worth it for my apartment it would be. I'm a nurse so will have 4 days off a week I like to stay busy but also like to play video games like ff14. Other than that i just stream Netflix, Hulu, max, and other videos. I don't game competitively.

It's $50 a month so nothing crazy, but still if it's overkill and I can save some money then why not.

Also, I'm not sure what router I'd need to handle the speeds. If that's gonna be pretty expensive then I'd rather stay around 500mbps even though the downloads would be rough

The 500 vs 1000Mb debate has popped up many times, unless 1G is cheaper then stay on 500Mb.
