I'm sure the fact that Germany has a 566% larger population density and is 96.19% smaller than the United States has a lot to do with a countries ability to bring 25Gbps internet to its citizens.

Internet in Germany is really bad and expensive compared to Switzerland and even to the rest of Europe. In Germany fiber to the home is maybe 1-2% of all internet connections. Most fiber providers in Germany offer only artificial asymmetric connections and are very expensive.

Not a disappointment at all. I see now that it is indeed Switzerland. The mention of the Germany based IX upgrading to 25Gbps towards the end of the article threw me off.
But Switzerland has a 504% larger population density and 99.56% smaller land area as compared to the United States so my point still stands.
Is the density higher then New-York?
