...see companion video "Scale up to 322 Tbps with Cisco CRS-3"

While we continue to advance technologies such as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) that help service providers provide high quality last mile access to residences, the focus of the CRS-3 announcement is on the core of the network. It is about providing service providers, the ability to build the backbone of the next-generation Internet, which will witness a surge in video traffic, proliferation of mobile devices (end points) and increased adoption of cloud computing by enterprises.

[wheelboss]

The router that is being talked about is just for Internet service providers. It is to help speed up the core of the Internet also known as the "Internet backbone." Since this is not made for consumers but instead for service providers, the full cost is $90,000. getting speeds like this at home is dependent upon the service providers not necessarily the CRS-3. It could still be a few years before this is fully implemented and can be fully tapped into.
