That and the abysmal upload speeds of cable internet providers. Comcast's 1Gbps option has 35mbps upload speeds and they charge more than both Google and AT&T. I pay $70 a month for 1Gbps symmetrical upload and download from AT&T - flat rate no additional fees or taxes. On my best computer, I can usually get 950Mbps+ up and down wired. My house is wired for gig-e throughout.
