Agree completely. Higher speeds are a bit pointless for most users. Unless you have an extremely fast NAS, where you need to copy (not stream) data over Wi-Fi, you're unlikely to be anywhere near the current limits.

I'm using 802.11ac and see no need for higher speeds.

Higher speeds automatically means less latency and that does matter, especially if you are into stuff like games where every millisecond matters.

		I think the point is that these numbers are theoretical, and only reachable in a lab. So in practice you do not really benefit.

		That's not really how latency works though.
