This is a dedicated 25Gbps direct link from my ISP.

Guys, want a cold shower?
The speeds above 2 Gb/s are useless and everyone that has higher internet package just pays more for something they could never use to the full.
We're not in 2010's, we're in 2024. Internet speed isn't the limiting factor anymore, it's the computer (or any other device) hardware and the quality of ISP connection.
1. issue: web server connection
If you have 25 Gb/s speed, and the server you're downloading from has 10 Gb/s connection (which is actually the case most of the times), you can only download at 10 Gb/s and that's in ideal condition server isn't busy by other clients, only you.
2. issue: hardware limit
You can only download files at the speed your HDD/SSD works. You may have 100 Tb/s network connection, but if your drive is only capable of writing at 125 MB/s, then you won't be downloading any faster. Also, you'd need fast CPU to handle all the workload.
3. issue: quality of your ISP routing
Let's say your ISP uses low quality routes to the specific server and you have bunch of lost packets, high latency etc. Your speed won't help you with that. But higher quality route will. To download a file, you'll have to use a VPN server to go with different route, but again, none of the VPN servers will have bandwidth to let you surf with 25 Gb/s speed.
4. issue: censored web
@FALLEN Obviously, lives in Turkey where common occurence is nationwide censorship of the web. To get around it, he has to use VPN. As I already said, this reduces your actual speed DRASTICALLY. So what's the point in having that speed when you're surfing the web at way slower speed. This isn't just a case in Turkey, it's the norm in all authoritarian countries.
5. issue: you don't really need it
You don't really need anything above 2 Gb/s and even that's extreme. 1 Gb/s is more than enough for large family house with large number of devices. Even if everyone streamed at 4K, there'll still be a lot of bandwidth left. And no, you don't need to download Steam game at 25 Gb/s, Steam probably couldn't even handle that speed so it will always download at lower speed.
The only valid use for speeds higher than 1 Gb/s would be if you have a server connected to the internet; otherwise there really isn't any use. So, guys, don't be jelaous. At least you're not paying for something that you can't use. And keep in mind that speed doesn't indicate quality of the connection; you can have high speed connection which constantly breaks or censors the web.

Exactly, and sometimes it's even blocked at 1Gb/s.
My 8Gb symmetrical isp certainly offers it, but it was more a challenge than anything else, a thrill to set up a 10Gb installation

I'm not sure what you're asking me. There isn't a single website which would test the quality of your internet connection, but a various test you can do yourself. They include speed test, ping test, traceroute, packet loss, bufferbloat test and such.@Marko :) which / where is the test page for the quality of the connection at whatever speed...
If you want to check quality of the route taking you to specific server, you can use a tiny program called WinMTR which will measure packet loss for every step of the route to desired address.

@Marko :) The Turkish government only enforces porn censorship on the big three ISPs; Turk Telekom (state owned), Superonline (state owned) and Vodafone. Sometimes they threaten bandwidth restrictions for sites/platforms like X and TikTok if they refuse to cooperate. Other than that, there is no censorship that I'm aware of.
Here is the thing, even if Turk Telekom installs the Internet infrastructure, nobody has to choose it. There are more than a hundred ISP companies we can choose and there is no government or any kind of censorship at all. I can access all the porn, torrents, any sites or services without a problem.
