In some areas they are, but it's a minority of houses in Australia. Telstra and Optus have them.
NBN is decommissioning the Optus HFC network and replacing it with VDSL. Yes, I'm serious.
They're taking over and using the Telstra coaxial network, which should improve upload speeds, but they aren't planning to offer anything above 100Mbps (about 94 actual throughput) on it. They're replacing the DOCSIS 3.0 equipment, but with more DOCSIS 3.0 equipment.
Since Telstra's max plan goes about 115mbit, this is actually a downgrade in speed at my house. I'll be waving 20Mbit/s goodbye.
