1gbitps is around 128MByteps. Most providers use bits instead of bytes. So it's not really a Gigabyte/second. Also most providers give you the maximal limit of the connection, not the average one. You'll probably get around 100MB/second. If a household has 5 persons, that's around 20MB/second which makes using the connection simultaneously possible without affecting anyone's speed.
