Your Internet probably doesn’t quite exceed one Gig yet.

But locally, if you’re a heavy user among multiple computers, yeah, it may be worth it. You’ll need good enough cabling, a capable switch, and each computer needs it (or you’re back down to 1 GigE). All of those are more expensive, whereas 1 GigE has long become commodity.
