Larger Droplets should provide Faster Networking, smaller should allow upgrades

All Droplets seem to max out around 1 Gbps of Network (bandwidth) speed with some bursting allowed. The disks should be the bottleneck, but instead it's the network. This becomes a big issue when needing to move files around, especially with the new high memory droplets.

AWS, GCP and other services provide faster networking with large instances, but even the smaller instances usually provide 5 Gbps burst capability.
