For most of us, the fastest we can see is about 950 Mbps. The reason is our internal networks are 1GB. If you connected a single PC directly to your cable modem you might, might see 1000 Mbps.

There are 2.5GB and 10GB switches. And some cable modems allow a bonded connection for 4 circuits, allowing potentially 10GB. But you have to pay for faster connections and multiple connections. And then you are still limited on the downlink to about 50 Mbps per connection. Figure about $125 per bonded connection which for me would limit me to 4Gbps.
