I get 1 Gbps for less than $20 where I live (Europe), and unlimited bandwidth, but I'm not bothering with the extra speed yet because I'm going to need a good 802.11ac router and an SSD-enabled laptop to take full advantage of it.

So I'll wait a year longer or so until 1+ Gbps Wi-Fi arrives in laptops and also in routers (second wave of 802.11ac routers will do that, first wave isn't quite there yet). By then SSD prices should be a little lower, too.

Which country/area would that be?
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Romania. You can read more about this here http://business-review.eu/featured/rcs-rds-offers-highest-fi... and a reddit discussion on the subject at that time here http://redd.it/1nz2ig (many comments)
Many countries have 1gbps (Hong Kong, Singapore, Turkey...) but only if Google does it in the US in a city or two does it get some public air time.
