Where it matters it's 24 hours. You'll never see event schedules, train timetables, store opening hours etc as "6pm". Only "18:00".
In speech we use 12 hours. But then it's mostly clear from context.
Tbh I don't see how you can live with 12 hour clocks on appliances in the US. I bought a Cuisinart coffee filter and it has the 12 hour clock and an invisible dot that shows am or pm. It can also be set to start on its own at a certain hour. 60% of the time, when I change the settings i get it wrong because who the hell can see that dot?
