If the operator wants to keep bufferbloat low you will not be able to utilise your 1 Gbps to that speed when downloading from distant servers. But with the same bufferbloat measured in milliseconds you will still have a 10x bigger buffer and thus 10x bigger bandwidth delay product. That translates to 10x the speed.
I should think that the speed were limited to some fraction of the speed of light being either the speed of signal propagation in copper or of photon travel in glass, and completely unrelated to bufferbloat or anything of that ilk. 1 Gps is a measure of volume, not of speed. The speed is constant. -- Be decisive. Make a decision, right or wrong. The road of life is paved with flat squirrels who could not make a decision.
