I would guess it’s to appeal to the greater United States audience of readers, as at least in my experience most people live in an area where speeds are still measured in the hundreds of Mbps. This would allow for a more direct and distinctly dramatic comparison.
Obligatory reminder that the Third-of-a-Pound burger failed because people thought it was smaller than a Quarter Pounder, since it had a three in it instead of a four.
You get hundreds? I don’t know anyone with that much. Although starting to see very expensive over 100Mbit options now, I use 4G as it’s cheaper and more reliable which is somewhat amusing to be able to say.
I’m lucky enough to live over a business that allows me to use their Internet as a part of my lease, I do have 25Mbps. A marked upgrade from the non-business options in the area.
Getting paid by the letter? Why not just say 50Gbps?

Reminds me of the informal study where people kept choosing pizza that came in more/smaller slices because they thought it was more pizza.
A tenth of a Pound must be soo big!

Not like I actually need higher speeds anyway.

No, if they cared for that, they’d say 50,000,000,000 Bps
Fair enough. They could even do 100,000,000,000 Nps
