Other than running a commercial CDN at home or something.. what possible need is there for a 25 Gbit home connection?
My home ISP connection (in Silicon Valley) is ~22 Mbit. That is enough for just about everything I can think of. We can run 3 zoom calls simultaneously (3 people in the house), stream movies, play online games, etc, all works fine.
The only time I wish for a bit more is for huge downloads, but that is so rare (once a month? probably not even) that it's just a footnote.
And at my personal office I have ~150Mbit connection and that is overkill for everything I can think of.
- msh 4mo ago25 gigabit might be overkill for now as there is not a lot of end user equipment supporting it but 22 megabit would be painful for me. My family have a number of gaming PC's and a playstation, downloading a game is easily 40-60 gigabytes so the difference between 22 megabit and a gigabit makes a huge change in usability. 22 megabit is also not really enough for 4K streaming (netflix 4K is 15-25 megabits, the better ones is even more).
