> 25 MBit/s is 25 Mbit/s there is no difference in service between a community ISP and a commercial/public company ISP except the price

No difference except the price, really? So, you don't think any of the following are differences?

* What the provider is permitted to do with your data

* Whether there is a soft cap on usage before throttling begins

* How aggressively they do traffic shaping

* What you're allowed or not allowed to do as per the terms of service (e.g. run a server)

and so on.

It seems like you're hand-waving away a ton of stuff and dismissing it as unimportant.
