Honestly, fuck American ISPs, but what on earth would you need 25 gig fiber in your home for? We have a gig line that actually runs at a gig 99% of the time, and I can be downloading a steam game while 3 separate videos are being streamed and I won’t have stuttering. 25 gig sounds cool, but also utterly pointless
It saves time. You cannot buy more time, only preserve what you have left.

Also, depending on where AI goes, those gigs might become filled with activity. For example, every house having at least one AI server that works for the residents. That would decentralize the AI infrastructure and authority, which serves both the personal and national interests. Harder for a data center to be destroyed, when it doesn’t exist in the first place. The people also get to decide to whom the spare time of the AI can be lent to, which helps diffuse the power of corporations and government.
Look, I hate these data centers, but the vast, vast majority of them won’t be using residential lines. They’ll be running their own lines in order to not have their traffic be tied up by slow downs during peak hours. And with how expensive and difficult it is to run a model that’s worth the half a fuck the bullshit machines we have now are, an AI server running in every home is not only unlikely, but with how central these big companies want to keep everything, simply not happening. Hell, the vast majority of people who have been forced to use these chat bots in everyday work hate them. Plus, most people barely know how to install apps to their iPad let alone how to run a local server
Edit: also, you need specific computer equipment to run that fast. You can’t just plug in your computer to an Ethernet line and get the full 25 gigs
I can run a 35b-3a AI model, on a single videocard, and have it translate a Japanese game within a day. A year ago, that would have required much more hardware, and would have taken longer. Your position is bad, because it doesn’t acknowledge a developing reality, and more importantly, surrenders the future to jerks by default.

It’s only around $100 for a pcie 25gb Ethernet card. Not particularly a huge hurdle.

Home e-business and you run your own servers. Or cohousing, one building where multiple families live under one address.
