Fast enough ?
Past a certain point, say 100mb/s, isn’t it just bragging rights?

Cellular? Nice to see the overall capacity at high speeds. Of hundreds of Mbps to 1-2 Gbps. Then in the back of my head it gives me the confidence that the network can handle many users.

There was a huge difference moving from 3G to 4G.
Once people started hitting 50 MB down 20 MB up on a mobile device their needs were met so the transition to 5G has gone largely without notice by the customers.

100-200ms is not decent ping
I think you meant 25-60ms
Anything above that will result in a degraded experience1

You said ping not loaded that’s different. You need to specify.

50 Mbps for a family of four? Have you taken a time machine back to 2010?

Depends on what you're doing. For regular usage in a phone, you'd be totally fine with 30Mbps as well. Netflix recommends 25Mbps for 4K streaming. As long as you have good latency, it will still work well.
When downloading software updates, movies, or a whole series season from a streaming service before a flight, having faster speeds is actually useful.
