Household internet speed are the maximum possible if at 2am nobody is downloading anything in whole building for example. Company pay for guaranteed bandwidth, and premium level troubleshooting from provider. The prices are astronomical.

My employer with 400 onsite employees (in noncovid situation) has provably worse transfer speed & latency than my household with our consumer 1 Gbps connection. I expect them to pay at least 100x more for it. But its a bank, they can't do differently - they never had connection issue in last 10 years I work there. If they ever had, the team of experts would have fixing it as their top priority.
