Same here. CHF 777 per year for my 25gbit internet and TV service [1] . Any extra fees from interconnects etc are already included.

Same goes for sales tax. It must be included in the price of the product when displaying the price. No surprises at the cash register.

Now you're making me want to move to Switzerland, even though I hate living in the mountains...

I wouldn't even know what to do with 25Gbps internet.

How many people in Switzerland even have home networks capable of taking full advantage of those speeds?

I'm also on Init7. 25gbps is pure nerd cred.

The only hosts you can talk to with that speed are other 25gbps customers, with custom hardware, and an ultra fast NAS or sending random bits.

I have 10gbps, also for nerd cred. 1/10/25gbps from this provider is all the same monthly cost, differing setup fees.

The advantage to 10gbps is I have a silent router (Mikrotik RB5009), and every 1gbps port is entirely independent. You will never have 1 machines activities slow another's.

Do I ever actually get 1gbps speeds? Yes, sometimes, for large downloads on XBOX. BitTorrent doesn't achieve this because your peers don't have that upload. Google drive doesn't achieve that because their VMs are probably shared 1gbps each.

But, Init7 has excellent peering vs other 1gbps fiber providers and no traffic shaping at all.

The advantage of 1gps and more is that you can talk to multiple other hosts at their max speed if they're all a fraction of your max speed.

But realistically for most consumers the only difference between 100Mbit and 1Gbit is how fast their games download on their consoles.

I see init7, I upvote.
