Fiber is available to consumers in very limited areas, although they are only getting about 1.5mbps, for something around $30/month. Fiber optics has a huge capacity, but ISPs will cap it. You can buy more speed for more money of course, but fiber to the home for most people is far off, and until its cheaper, dont expect too much mroe than cable speeds.
