It isn’t meaningful at a consumer level. Consider that even the newest PCIe 4.0 motherboards only have 256 Gbits/second unidirectional bandwidth; a computer couldn’t keep up.
Comcast describes their services<https://www.comcasttechnologysolutions.com/ip-transit-suite/wholesale-internet-services> as “One of the largest N x 100GB fiber optic backbones with multiple terabits of capacity”. It would be an AT&T or Comcast type company that would use that kind of technology to widen their backbone. (I know I want to see Gilligan’s Island in 8K. It really adds a new dimension.)
