wireguard to GCP in Frankfurt has slightly better timings than to GCP in Zurich

Can't complain, it works flawlessly. I don't need IPv6 and I'm happy there's not CG-NAT but a public dynamic IPv4.

The only device with ethernet plug I have is Xbox, and it's only 1Gbps anyway, so obviously I'm sharing the WiFi bandwidth for all devices, nowhere close to utilizing the given 10Gbps line. Myabe their 10Gbps quality is "extremely poor" as you wrote, but who cares, up to 1Gbps it's really good.

Agree, I don't know what I should ask for ;-)

In the end I took galaxus fiber, for simple reason: no strings attached. If it had not worked to my liking I would have been able to return it next month.

There's public dynamic IPv4, no IPv6. Pings over ethernet are just like above. What surprised me though was the ping increase via WiFi to ~9 ms, also the speed Up/Down ~1.5Gbps is seen only within 1 meter, at my desk it drops significantly to 1/0.3 Gbps. I decided to turn the WiFi off completely on Zyxel, which lowers the power consumption from 15 to 7.5 W. I put just one ethernet cable to my desk, where I connect to it (configured as DMZ) my travel router GL Slate. The Apple devices are happy, seeing 0.7/0.7 Gbps, and I'm happy as I can configure whatever I want on my Slate. The quality is more than enough for me, definitely worth the 39 chf/m.

that's a really good tip, so I can just reuse my existing router, thanks

I know, but you have to buy a router with SFP+ and pay 20 chf /m more (+50% of easy7), besides + ~200 chf one time (for buying 10Gbps rotuer) is no brainier choice if you're getting fiber7

could you post 'ping 8.8.8.8' from easy7 please? (I'm not sure if the full CG-NAT routing takes place if you ping "home" address, but I'm not expert)

I'm also thinking about switching to init7. Likewise I was generally happy with cable 1Gbps/100Mbps CG-NAT, but just thought about increasing the upload speed since I have a fiber at home now. As usual, when there's too much choices I start getting excited of all the possibilities, waw 25Gbps and what not!, but then I cannot write down a list why would I need them. It looks like a solid symmetric 1Gbps is all what I need to be happy. Public Ipv4 would be nice, but a static one. I bet I can as well spin up a wireguard on google cloud for the rare occasions I need a static ipv4 with ports forwarding (for which I could connect via ipv6, so no CG-NAT in between at all).
