I guess, most n-routers from 10 feet are around 400MB on a good day. I would be surprised if you're touching that level of traffic internally. For the bulk of what most people do the choke point is going to be your external connection.

If you're always moving large files internally then you can get some benefit from 1gb. Most of the company I work for the end user segments are 100mbs still. When I worked for IBM most of our buildings were still 10mb and things functioned fine.

The data centers are all moving to 10GigE, but it's damned expensive right now.
