Unless you have a serious RAID setup you are not going to reach 1 Gbit/s even if the provider is able to give you the speed.
With current pricing and practical limits (the hard disks being a serious bottleneck), it just doesn't make sense to go for Gbit in one server. You are better served with several 100Mbit servers.
