Re: Limiting help =[ Going off of the assumption that you're are one of the dedicated server customers with The Planet.
IIRC the 1 Gbps service they offer is not dedicated (Who can afford to at those prices?). You'll need, to factor in not only the other side's bandwidth; but that of every hop you hit in between. One over utilized switch/router along the way and you'll be grinding down from there.
If you want to test a file just to make sure you are getting the bandwidth you're supposed to, I can host a 6 Gig DVD and give you a link from a server in Dallas' InfoMart connected to Level3 and Verizon (AS701 legacy UUnet). With my utilization there, it would be a quick burst and I can easily sustain 1 Gbps. Drop me a instant message.
