Hub4 router and 1Gbps connection - how to get a hub 5?

I am now on the 1Gbps connection and have the Hub4, however I have noted that the Hub4 is only 1gigabit LAN ports and the max speed of the line is 1180, so there is a small difference between the max speed of the line and the max speed the router can process.  

As I only have 1 device connected to the LAN ports, it feel like that device is missing out of a small portion of the speed of the connection.   

I know wifi can use the extra bandwidth but I can see that the new Hub5 has a 2.5gbps port, how can I get one of these?

You can't.  They are being sent out by invite only as far as I am aware.

But do you have a PC with 2.5Gb or better NIC?

Two mistakes VM made with the hub 4 one saying 1Gb and not 900-950Mb and two making the hub with 1Gb ports...double shotgun to the foot.
