Does any ISP offer a router with 2.5G?

Consider a 2.5 or a 5 Gbps switch if there is a real need for such internal traffic levels, keeping this traffic volume off the internet router would be a reasonable concern.
 
OP may be curiously wondering about > 1 Gbps connections to the outside world.

There are several ISP / AltNets that provide such, although not that common, and they typically provide kit with appropriately dimensioned ports to handle the connection.

Otherwise there are plenty of third-party routers out there with SFP+ ports
 
Off the top of my head Community Fibre and Zzoomm both offer home / resi packages of 3000 and 2000 Mbps symmetric. There are others but I haven't got a definitive list.

Edit: oops and B4RN

I believe Community Fibre use the Zyxel AX7501 for their 3 Gbs service and Zzoomm something similar.

CF use Adtran 602X ONTs on their very high speed service and also DIA leased lines delivered over XGS-PON
 
….Not routers but NTE or more specifically ONTs -

I see from the news here today, that Openreach have just announced new GPON specific ONT from Nokia and Adtran with 2.5G copper interfaces - as they look to trial the new > 1 Gbps FTTP tiers.

They are indeed. Now just need some proper SA 5G to fully exercise their potential 😎
Umm... nope... SA will end up being slower than NSA on all current devices (max 2 NR CA). e.g. for Three it will only aggregate n78+n78, whereas NSA can, in theory, if user hardware was capable, do B1+B3+B20+B28+B32 on 4G plus n78+n78 on 5G.
