Most hardware does 2.5Gbps out of the box these days.
I've had 1Gbps for 13 years now (in Denmark) and can comfortably say: it's plenty
True most motherboards, even the normal ones, now come with 2.5G included. But upgrading to 2.5 G feels like a wasted middle step if the next tier of external connectivity is at 10G, so I've not done that either haha
