While there are fairly easy ways to get small amounts of testnet ETH (e.g., 1 ETH) through faucets. What would be the best way to get a larger amount of testnet ETH (10-1000) in a time-sensitive way?

The Chainstack Faucet distributes test tokens for the major Ethereum networks and more.
You can get tokens for:
- Ethereum Sepolia — Use it to test DApps and smart contracts
- Ethereum Goerli — Use it to test Validators and staking
- Ethereum Holesky — Use it to test Validators and staking
- BNB Smart Chain testnet
- zkSync testnet
- Scroll testnet
Feel free to reach out if you need a relatively high amount of test tokens; I'll try to find them!
Full disclosure: I'm a developer advocate at Chainstack and worked on this faucet.

There is no way to get a large amount of ether from faucets. I usually get max of 5 ether at once.

This is the context of the question: "While there are fairly easy ways to get small amounts of testnet ETH (e.g., 1 ETH) through faucets..." Just to clarify, I'm not asking how to get ETH from faucets, I'm asking what's the best way to get a large number of testnet eth quickly.– PeterisCommented Jul 22, 2021 at 12:54
I think the best way is to select the third option on the Give me Ether drop down button at https://faucet.rinkeby.io/, which gives you 18.75 Ethers. Though, you'll have to wait for maximum of 3 days.

Hi Jemil, appreciate this, but unfortunately it is still a faucet based answer I'm afraid. Rinkeby has the most generous faucet by far.– PeterisCommented Aug 6, 2021 at 10:48

1I see what you mean. You are right, Rinkeby has the most the most generous, they gave me the 18,75 Ethers within few hours yesterday. Commented Aug 7, 2021 at 21:39
There's this page I found https://www.ropsten.money/l/ropsten where you can buy 10 rETH on ropsten for around 6$. There might be similar pages to this for other networks.
I haven't used the page yet, so I would suggest that you make your own research on its legitimacy.
I bought here: https://buy.sepoliafaucet.xyz/ and https://buy.holeskyfaucet.info/
