So my neighbor has 1gbps internet (as reported by his LAC status).

My q's are this: Does anyone have this? Confirm that speeds are true?
2. wireless N peaks at 300mbps-500mbps, and wireless N usb adapters seem to max out at 150mbps, are there better wifi options?

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

There's N+ and N1 which are "stronger" versions of N according to manufacturers like Linksys and Belkin but working at Best Buy for a while and talking to Geek Squad guys there's really no need for them as they are not officially tested to be significantly stronger than N.

find out what their monthly payment for this interent connection and who is the service provider. it depends.. he/she could be getting great speeds.. depends on how many nodes are on his/her block.

The less people using one node means better bandwidth in theory. so its possible this person is getting higher than avg speeds.

cheers

Some of the more expensive wifi units will max at 300mps. Not sure if it's advertising hype, though.

This one is sold around town at many places (even Hi-mart, sans base unit):
