Google the ISP!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8509110.stm
Google is spreading its wings in yet another direction - this time as a network provider, offering super-fast broadband to thousands of US homes.
It plans to build a fibre-optic network offering speeds of up to 1Gbps (gigabit per second) to up to 500,000 homes.
It said it would compete on price with other broadband providers offering much slower speeds.

If Google wants to bring 1gbps speeds to the last mile, then Cisco is betting their new router is what carriers are going to need. It's capable of up to 322 terabits per second.
