I don't feel there will be a need for the 2, 10 and maybe 20Mb's tiers in say 5 years time. They can upgrade equipment as contracts end and the customer takes a new contract. IMO it makes sense and the "the customer may not need 'x' speed" argument may be valid right now but it wont be valid in say 5+ years.

Of course all customers will be on DOCSIS 3 eventually, just it's a tad early to even be mentioning 400Mbit products given that we're still on 50Mbps.
It's like releasing 512kbps and saying that VM are looking to 38Mbps back in 2000 - absurd.
What the technology can do and what will be released are very different things... don't get excited or even consider things 'interesting' yet.
