You'd never actually saturate a connection that large with one user. The main reason Fibre Optic 40/10 is popular is because it accommodates well for multiple users at once. Even 4k streaming realistically uses around 20mb download. Most people are now limited by how fast the server can deliver them content rather than how fast they can download it, and the same for upload.
Ping is far more noticeable, it's sort of like torque in a way that ping is how long it takes to send and receive a command, so a 100ms ping with a big download will still feel slow in the same way a high horsepower car with no torque would still feel slow.
20ms is around what your average home connection gets and is more than sufficient for most web use, but for things such as gaming the less the better.

But when your home wifi network can't cope with qos when one person is netflix streaming .....

As long as you have an EE provided/sanctioned device. OnePlus3 is a no go.. 
Well. I have a 6P I bought through CPW which never used to do it since it was not an EE device... but since upgrading to Nougat it now does. At least, I think the Nougat upgrade was the driver, I'm not entirely sure.But you are right to say it's not available on all devices. They have a list on their website.

I've never seen a download from your usual places get close to saturating that much bandwidth, certainly not OS updates or software etc, I think Steam can do pretty well outside of their peak times. And certainly not the services I use for my job such as Dropbox, WeTransfer etc.
Some services such as Sony's PlayStation Network are actually notorious for being slow. And again with simple text sites such as forums it will be the ping that makes the internet feel quick not the download.
I imagine there are obviously services out there that can, more enterprise type stuff etc, but most consumer aimed things tend to be slower than a very fast connection these days.
Google Play Store - 80Mb+, Imgur 65Mb+, Flud (torrent) downloading Ubuntu image - 112Mb (ish), PH Animated GIF thread, to multiple sources, peaked at 115Mb...
