  25Gb ?! Symmetric? Wow. I guess that's a benefit to a small relatively wealthy country? My question would be, what do you have to even _use_ that much bandwidth? I have 1Gb/50Mb asymmetric and my Ubiquiti router can't really saturate the down stream. Sure, I could invest in a more powerful router, but in normal daily use we never even get close to max bandwidth.

    It's only the city and places that got lucky enough to have been connected via Fiber by the state owned phone company. There are still areas with garbage connections at a high cost. The reason the city has such a good fiber connectivity is because of a vote a few years ago that pushed this. It cost a lot of money but was worth every bit IMO. I hope something like this gets pushed for the whole country. I see it as core infrastructure like electricity and unlike cable or copper it is way more future proof.
