The definition of a millennial that I've heard is someone who came "of
age" around the millennium. So if you were around 18-21 years of age
between 1995 and 2005, you are a millennial. You turned 18 in 1999, so
I would say you qualify.

My 16 year old stepson is into this whole YouTube, Snapchat, and

That's a *bit* on the high side, I would think.

My house runs between 10-15 Mbps sustained. When we do our 4K

Me too. Just checked our traffic, and we've actually got a
95th percentile of less than 500 Kbps (although in
November/December we were running closer to 1.5 Mbps). We
can go way higher than that due mostly to where we are on
the network, but we can't (or don't choose to) saturate our
online-ness like a millennial.

I can get 30Mbps at home on my 450. I might hit 25-30 to

my average is less than a meg. Would I notice if I had
only 10Mbps, probably not. And yeah, mine is free. :)
I guess I'm just not an average millennial. Meh.

Not a contract or promo price. And you don’t have to
live in public housing.
I do realize typical residential pricing is around
$50/mo. What I’m saying is the “free” price was
ridiculous, especially since Google Fiber is so
holier-than-thou showing the other ISPs how it’s done.
It was either a stunt to get municipal approval, or they
honestly believed 10 Mbps was so lame that most people
would rather pay for gigabit.
No matter what their logic, increasing your minimum tier
from $0 to $50 is a helluva price increase. It would
certainly seem to offer the local cable and telephone
companies an opportunity to offer 10 Mbps at something
less than $50, maybe around $30. And maybe get some
cable TV revenue. Because lots of people will still be
happy with a meager 10 Mbps if it’s affordable, no matter
what the elites think. Just like some people are fine
with French’s mustard instead of Grey Poupon, and beer
instead of wine.

I am under the impression you are not familiar with
common metro broadband pricing.
Honestly.
I have a rather large spreadsheet of major North American
fiber / cable / DSL providers, contracts, misc fees, etc.
Once you get past the "contract promo" pricing, seeing
10Mbps for $45-55+ a month is far from uncommon -
especially for the cable cos, which sucks when you see
that 10Mbps stay at 2-4Mbps during peak because of how
vastly over provisioned much of those networks are.
That said, their 1Gbps pricing (which they want customers
on, as gpon ports aren't free in the strategic sense)
really stoked a fire under most of the providers asses.

Free was silly. But hiking the minimum tier from $0

Comcast’s $10 price is more reasonable than either $0
or $50.
