Google Fiber is a US thing where it's practically the only case of fiber internet in the entire US that's being developed and expanded at all, but is currently only in a few big metro areas. Verizon FIOS was an older Fiber connection that's no longer being expanded but it also was really only in larger metro area, but mostly on the very east US coast.

In the US, being in the middle of nowhere (like I am) is pretty much a guarentee for having slow internet no thanks to regional duopolies between cable and phone companies. (contrary to what our overly-patriotic government officials say, the US is not the pinnacle of free markets)

Here's a handy chart that should give you an idea of the CPU performance between different architectures:

(Ivy Bridge and Haswell are not listed, but both would be a bit faster than Sandy Bridge)

Note that I can overclock my CPU to 3GHz, but I rarely feel the need to since I normally run my CPU undervolted at 1.1v and at times I even underclock to 1GHz @ 0.775v (which I can use for non-hardware accelerated 720p 30fps h.264)

I'm seeing 50-80% on just 720p 30fps VP9, I haven't even tried 1080p yet.
