25 Gbit/s internet as a normal customer

If you're uploading streaming video directly to consumers, without an intermediary cache (e.g. YouTube), your upload needs can essentially reach infinity. It's just a question of how many people are trying to view the stream, at what level of quality, at the same time. If you need an intermediary cache, you're more likely to be censored by the intermediary or the political jurisdiction in which the intermediary is found.

25 Gb/s, in this light, is small.

Yes, 25Gb/s is just enough to begin hosting your own high quality video content to a small community of people and handle mild spikes in traffic. This is probably the first point that there is enough bandwidth to satisfy that need for the majority of people.
