Om Malik has a pretty good analysis of where the cable companies are headed, including a link to Cisco's "press release" that discusses technology that will eventually push the cable companies into the GigE range.
As quoted from the article:
"There are many advantages to the DOCSIS 2.0. By making some tweaks, DOCSIS 2.0 allows cable providers to double the bandwidth on existing modems. Future modems can at the very least triple the bandwidth being sent downstream to our homes, before hitting the top of around 30 megabits per second. The standard will help cable guys overcome the upstream bandwidth issues, and meet DSL and fiber on a more even footing. Arris, Motorola, and Terayon are three companies said to be working on DOCSIS 2.0 products, and expect many of these to start slowly coming to market by end of 2005. I expect more noise around these products especially at the upcoming NCTA show in early April 2005."
The article this quote was taken from can be found here:

So, we have fiber (Fios) now being rolled out that advertises speeds up to 30Mbps and the cable companies now have the technology to deliver up to 30Mbps over their existing networks, where is the wireless equivalent?
