> 10Gbit and 25Gbit fibre to the home

That is suprising, why? Can most people even use that much speed? Netflix only need so much bandwith. Good for homelabs, just most people don't have them.



An average webapp loads half of npm on first visit then makes about a million additional requests to make all the frameworks happy. When do you think can work?


For this, latency is the real problem. Even a 10 MB script bundle will be reasonably fast to load on 50 Mb/s; getting all those requests out is what takes time.


iirc fibre7 ceo said that they did it "because they can", to put pressure on the incumbant telcos and also to reduce complexity with simply connecting customers at the best speed supported by the infrastructure.


Well, why _not_ offer this if it's a similar cost the ISP?
