Actually, there are several companies that claim to offer connectivity
from 1Mbps up to 1Gbps delivered via ethernet. Cogent Communications is
one such company, at http://www.cogentco.com/. I don't know if they're
actually selling service and I have my doubts about their claims.
Another company is Yipes, at http://www.yipes.com/, offering scalable
bandwidth from 1Mbps to 1Gbps. They seem to have a decent business plan
and a reasonable infrastructure, but again, I can't speak for their actual
service.
This doesn't address any other misconceptions that your client may have
regarding WAN bandwidth, but there you go.
