    The only use for such speeds in the home is offloading all your data and computing to cloud services. Yay? Symmetrical gigabit is already about 5 times faster than I would ever need. Most people are too lazy to even run a LAN cable to get better than 150-300 mbps.

      Yeah I honestly can’t think of why one needs more than 1 gigabit other than what you mentioned (or torrenting). Even 1 gig feels like overkill for us and I do much more internetting than the average person.

      Or hosting your own services. 25 gbit/s is a lot of potential to scale up to a pretty decent sized web business before you need to get dedicated hosting.
