I'd say for any kind of serious FTTH deployment, peak hour average user 
will be around 0.5 - 2 megabit/s, so if you actually want a user who buys 
100/100 to be able to use that at peak hour, you're looking at an 
oversubscription factor of around 1/10th of the above, ie around 500 
users on a gigabit ethernet uplink.
