Yes I currently have Gigabit Extra through Comcast - it's rated at 1200Mbps but with over provisioning it's supposed to be around 1400Mbps. This issue is my other equipment too - My Netgear CM1100 cable modem and my computer only allow me to see around 940mbps hard wired in. I did recently buy a new computer but I will need to get a 2.5gbps network card in there and like I mentioned upgrade my router and cable modem. Honestly I probably wouldn't notice the higher speed but at some point I might was well get all that I'm paying for.
The coverage with my Netgear AC2100 has been fantastic so I wouldn't need anything fancy in a new router. I would even be open to other brands of routers as well.

For anything over 1Gb from the ISP, you'll need a new modem and router.
