14Mbps down, 1Mbps up on Sky Broadband here. I rarely download anything more than 20Mb which is the work of moments; uploading is more of a pain as uploading a 50Mb demo to FTP is a PITA.
The only times I really think "fibre would be nice" is when I have to clone a git repo or download an image for Windows/Office from MS.
