This is incredible, I'm full remote and tired of paying high rent in austin (even after leaving NYC) which makes me want to consider TN a bit more. However, what kind of networking (ideally prosumer) hardware do you need to truly leverage this kind of a connection. Switches are cheap, I already have a few 10G fiber switches, however routers are another story, especially ones that are actually capable of keeping up with a 10G or 25G connection.

2G Google Fiber has been an absolute game changer - from experience I can also say it's better than 2x bonded Verizon Fios fiber connections. By far, the coolest feature of G Fiber is the online portal to request a static IP. Really hope static IP capability is also an option with this 10G service!

I usually buy used enterprise gear, and have been in a similar situation: switch ports are (relatively) cheap, anything that needs an actual CPU to do routing is spendy.

I've gone to Mikrotik for routing 10Gb in the home now. Excuse the horrible part number: the CCR2004-16G-2S+PC has worked out great for me. They're a bit hard to find right now, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them over whatever Ubiquiti is trying to sell in the space. For multi-gig routing, the Mikrotik RB5009 has also been a great piece of hardware.

25Gb is really getting into a different class of hardware entirely. If I needed to route at that speed, I'd seriously consider a Supermicro + Opnsense build.
