(Course they do use ACK suppression so the actual effect may be lower)

I havent seen anything to indicate they do actually use ack surpression. All I have seen is a link that explains docsis supports it.
Also not everyone will have delayed acks enabled granted the majority of people will but some I expect for their own reasons may have it turned off, and some software selectively disables delayed acks as well.
I agree with craig anyway and you have it the wrong way round, the downstream isnt too high at 400mbit but rather the upstream is way too low.
