Helsinki Finland: I have had FTTH 1 Gbps link for years. Price 89€/mo including taxes and all costs and hardware. Now operators are also offer 10G/10G option, if someone really needs it at home. 10 megabits is usually more than anyone actually needs in normal situation. Then you'll notice that some sites are too slow and do not provide data quickly enough. Of course you can fix that by running 100-10000 parallel HTTP sessions, which seems to create DoS situation for most of smaller sites. One image hosting site was so slow, that I decided to mirror it, but actually I took it offline. ;( Remember, if you run out of sockets / sessions before hitting bandwidth limit, you can use multiple public interfaces to get more sockets.

even 10 years ago when we only had dsl with 1MBit i looked in envy to scandinavia with their 10Mbit connections everywhere..
You guys are still far ahead, but today i have 120Mbit at home which is plenty even for a heavy user like me! Still 1Gbit is exciting for me :)
