Lot of cable companies have been doing speed upgrades..

[GT2000]

Cox is pushing hard to upgrade their speeds in their systems with Verizon's FIOS hitting the market in certain areas (it's operational in a few parts of this region). I finally got my upgrade over night, it's 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up...very sweet indeed...

Here's a test off this one site running a Gigabit network, very good speedtest page.
