#2For the Swiss market

#3What also amazing is that there's no extra charge for increasing speeds. That would be unheard of in the US, where artificial segmentation is the norm.

The extra charge is in installation fee, but yeah, for 800 USD the cost of 25Gbps transmitter is negligible over letting go of a client needing more than 10Gbps, and ready to pay for it.
Note, it's not a PON, but real symmetric, point-to-point connection.
I once had 250mbps over 1000BaseLX, and it was way more expensive than 500mbps GePON coming after it.

#5So $843.60/yr ($70.3/mo) + a 1-time $361.54 fee? I'd take that deal in a heartbeat. I pay a little over $100 for 1Gbps symmetrical plus a static IP.

#6What sort of opportunities would open up if this sort of connection were ubiquitous?
I could see netbooting your desktop to avoid having to buy a hard drive.
Also instead of downloading large game assets they could just stream on demand. (Even though downloads would go really fast anyway.)
4K and 8K video streams are already done reasonably at 100 mbps. Some sort of 3D point cloud streaming?

#7>CHF 64.75/month with annual billing (CHF 777.-/year)
CHF 64.75 = ~$70USD. But why does 1 / 10 / 25Gbps all cost the same?
I am wondering if there are any cheap Swiss Cloud Storage that one could make use of the upload and download speed. You really could have an external HDD in a DataCenter.

I'd take YOUR deal in a heartbeat. I pay $110/month for 75Mbps down / 10Mbps up and 300GB data. They also constantly harass me with upsells and raise prices 10% per year.

I wouldn't, 13€/mo for unlimited 1Gbps down, 60M up, static IP and have never been bothered by these limits, especially for the cost (wouldn't hurt to have a higher upload speed since I host some stuff but that has not been a problem yet).

#10I have 1gbps. I had to get a decent router. Cheap home routers can't handle it even when they outright claim they can. You also want something better than cat5 for home wiring. Lastly spinning hard drives wont keep up on sustained reads/writes you need an SSD.
The above is things you should do when you have 1gbps in order to actually get those speeds. I know people will argue citing 640k being enough for everyone and have some edge case that needs this but.... 25gbps is overkill.
