Being actually able to saturate 25/25G is anything but an easy task, unless you have the money to buy enterprise degree hardware. So I ended up building my own router. The CPU, the network card and the 25G SFP+ were the expensive parts. But I managed to stay around $1200 with second hand hardware.
Before that with 1G or 10G I used the Ubiquity Dream Machine Pro.
Lol. Got 25/25G for $74/month.
Where about? I’m stuck in Comcastland and get gigabit (down, the upload is pathetic) for 85 a month 😔
Unfortunately only available in Switzerland:

I knew I wouldn’t be able to get it, I was just curious. Thanks for sharing
What did you have to pay for their router? Or did you buy your own router, if so much much did you have to spend?

Yeah, I guess 25G is the fastest way to qualify for r/homedatacenter, lol
edit: nvm. I just saw that they are trying to get 200 or 400G switches. Still, I suspect that most of them don’t have 25G WAN
If you‘re curious, someone else documented the PC build and I used this as a guide for mine:

That’s neat! Thanks for the link.
