No normal consumer user would have any reasonable use case for this kind of bandwidth.

This is data center and backbone network stuff.

ultimately the end consumer is going to run their connection through it SOMEWHERE, or something very similar more than likely.

It's not going to be FTTH levels of connectivity, but interconnect to ISP it very well could be.
