Just for reference Init7 offers 25 Gbit/s for 65 CHF a month. Thats about 83 USD.

They have the same monthly price for 1 Gbit/s 10 Gbit/s and 25 Gbit/s. Only the initial install for the higher speed optics costs 77 CHF or 222 CHF more respectively.

I'm still on their 1Gbit/s service because I'm too lazy and cheap to replace my router and LAN with 10 Gbit/s equipment.

    Most hardware does 2.5Gbps out of the box these days.

    I've had 1Gbps for 13 years now (in Denmark) and can comfortably say: it's plenty

    True most motherboards, even the normal ones, now come with 2.5G included. But upgrading to 2.5 G feels like a wasted middle step if the next tier of external connectivity is at 10G, so I've not done that either haha
