99.999999% of the time, you will download a movie in a shorter amount of time on 25 Mb/s service than someone on 3 Mb/s service assuming everything else in the hypothetical is equal.
That is perceived "speed" because it's being done faster, whether you like that or not. Have a great day, I'm done with the semantics debate.
But you can't make that assumption in a vacuum because of latency which is the whole reason why bandwidth is not speed. I'm sorry you consider it semantics, but it's not. In fact there is a petition in front of the FCC right now to force carriers to change the term because it is false and misleading.
