802.11ad is going to bring 5Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet into the mainstream... in about 3-5 years.
Most devices aren't but 1x1 or 2x2 on 802.11ac, which drastically limits their bandwidth, even on 80mhz and 80+80 channels. An 8x8 radio on 802.11AC 3rd gen with all clients and the AP capable of MU-MIMO with a bunch of devices on it? Then more than a gig or more than a 1x1G lag makes sense. Those devices will have 5Gbps over copper support using the existing copper, maybe even 2x5Gbps ports. Still, those devices will be plugged into layer3 switches for proper east-west traffic speeds at line rate, that can support POE 802.3at and the 5Gbps over copper rates. They will likely have several 5Gbps ports, and a handful of 25Gbps over copper. You won't see much SFP+ in homes. WAN ports for CPE devices will be limited to 1Gbps for the next few years at a minimum. 5years before you see a 5Gbps WAN port would be my guess, and even then they will be rare. Sources - my own research, and comments from several router manufacturers and FTTH vendors.
