Ehhh, in my experience, 1Gbps is a very good speed already, what would please me more is lower latency.

That's the main reason I haven't bothered upgrading mine any more.
100mbits with 3ms latency is pretty rocking.

For commercial stuff, 50Gbps is probably useful. Especially if you're not large enough to commission your own fibre cables but for the average person it's probably not too useful - at those speeds you're transferring fast enough to saturate even the fastest of commercial device storage.
