Those are maximum values...
Achieving those is totally different story and depends on too may factors...

If you do not have bigger files (downloads, video/audio streaming etc) 100Mbps is probably fine, but if you do then 1Gbps line is prefered since you can peak out of 100Mbps and users with faster connections can get those big files quicker without "blocking the line" to other visitors.

If you want to push much bandwidth - you also need powerful hardware and well optimized software.

And this is what i was looking for.

this clears my query.

so first get 100 mbps then check how much bandwidth i am using then get a gig port and get that much bandwidth plan instead of 100 mbps unmetered. so more users are satisfied and less waiting.
