We have 500mbps for 50 people in the office in Poland (EU) and it seems fine. Ping under <1ms does the real job (this is a commercial connection). People don't watch movies but download Linux and other software on regular basis. We also do offline backups and this is the biggest bandwidth usage.

Our servers are 1Gbps and the bandwidth is rarely the biggest bottleneck.

I have 200/20 in my own office and the biggest problem is that it works unreliably with Microsoft Teams and Google very often.

PS5 seems to have a 1Gbps interface.

I wonder if 25Gbit has any impact and what is the real stability of it in the Switzerland and the connection to major DCs and services. Entire Internet just doesn't feel stable enough to use that bandwidth but maybe this is a problem here in Poland.

Do you encounter problems with Teams or Meets in your countries?
