Thats not a true statement. Just because you have a GigE connection doesnt mean anything when it comes to using the internet. Content on the 'net is two way, meaning that your computer sends out a request and then the remote server sends it to you. Unless the site you are connecting to also has a GigE upload, you arent going to get your content any faster. For instance, most websites are served via T1's. This means you will not be able to download content from them any faster than 1.54Mbps, regardless of if you have a 2Mbps connection or a 10Gbps uber pipe.
True you aren't likely to get 1 Gbps from a single source, but from multiple sources (example: BitTorrent) it's possible.
Yes you're right. With BT or a download accelerator you could get the full 1Gb/s.

My brother has a 100Mb/s connection in his apartment, and he gets ridiculously high off other peers and many file hosting servers all the time.

I think his record was something like 10,000kB/s or 10MB/s or 80Mb/s. If he had 1Gbit/s I'm sure he would get the same.

I think he had two other jpn seeds, and he got almost 2.2MB/s off one guy.
