The connection speed you can acquire is limited by money first, and then by power consumption, and then by available space. A single desktop computer probably can't get the full benefit of anything faster than, say, 100 megabits per second. One way you could experience that kind of speed in your home without laying new cables would be to use a thin client to connect to an off-site server in a server farm which had its own private internet backbone. Server farms like that are sure to have a nice fast connection - much faster that the average individual user needs or wants.
On the more practical side, I have a friend who has cable and DSL, and is using both connections simultaneously. He is paying for it though, to the tune of about $70 per month if I remember correctly.
The fastest internet connections worldwide are using fiber optic cables to transmit the data. If you are wealthy, and feel the need or want for an unnecessarily large data pipe, you could pay to have one of said optic cables installed up to your doorstep. But it would cost a lot of money.
So, your limiting factors, in increasing order of difficulty, are money, power consumption, and available space.

(If you took things to a theoretical extreme, you would reach a point where the information could not be processed fast enough with current technology, and until further advances developed, going faster would be meaningless.)

I'm feeling good with DSL, if I get anything faster my computer will probably crash.
