If you can get Centurylink fiber to the home,  you can get 1G/1G.
I use an Ubiquiti edgerouter lite.  had to turn on PPPoE offload to get the
full 1g.
router works great.   as mentioned you will need to auth on a VLAN.
Centurylink has been super reliable and so has the edge router, in the 4
years i have had it.

only a couple of times i have seen service issues. Some of my neighbors say
complain of issues often,  i never have the same issues when they do.
