When I was on FTTH in Japan my bottleneck was routinely my hard drive instead of my connection. Steam would just flat out lock up my computer until it was finished downloading games (in like 30 seconds, to boot) since these were the days before widespread SSD availability.

It ruled and was a good problem to have. I'm excited about Google Fiber finally making its way here even though the monthly fee is literally twice what I paid for NTT's fiber service back in the day.

Yeah AWS is a solid bet. If you don't mind having set transfer caps per month you could go with a smaller provider as well.
