No reckon about it, until Channel Bonded / Wideband / Docsis 3 / whatever it's called this week there's no way that any cable company could offer you that sort of speed using standard DOCSIS. Especially as when people can't hit their max speed they whinge like crazy.

However there is a 24Mbit/8Mbit service over EuroDOCSIS 2 in Europe

Only way to offer that sort of speed is with ethernet over coax which requires extensive access/local network build.
