I believe the 1 gigabit/sec is available now from Century Link (fiber only). When I asked, the price was over $100/month. I currently have 40 megabits/sec download and 20 megabits/sec upload for $35/month.

During 2015, I had Comcast 75 Mb/sec internet, which more often tested at 90 Mb/sec, for $40 / month. When my "new customer" special ran out, they were going to increase to $60 / month, but offered me this year's new customer special of $50 /month when I asked to cancel.
I am in the process of canceling Comcast and returning to CenturyLInk for their 40 Mb/sec service at $35 / month (Internet only). They also offer 100 Mb/sec service at a higher price.
Note that CenturyLink has a fiber optic network in this area, where as Comcast still uses copper. Some year from now CenturyLink will be offering fiber network customers 1 Gb/sec internet, but price has not been disclosed.
