Australia has been busy rolling out FTTH (fibre to the home)l @ 100mbps download and 40mbps upload.

I am on it now and its very fast, but if google fiber in the US is offering 1gbps? then this is so much faster than what we are getting

Japan offers 2gbps download speeds and 1gbps upload! that will practically download an entire 15gb bluray movie in about 15 seconds! provided your source can pull the speed and your computer is fast enough to process this speed (not possible unless you have a enterprise grade server! still fast though!
