But you have to be a fairly specialised type of home user to need to transfer multi GB files on a regular basis. Most people watch a bit of streaming video, skype & use social media. In your average house virtually all communication is between your device and the outside world, very little data will transfer from device to device internally, even 4k video streaming only needs about 15 Mbps.
The bottleneck on most people's bandwidth is their internet connection not wi-fi speed.
