The available bandwidth isn't 40Mbit * # users.
Distance from cabinet is the decider of speed really. The available bandwidth is at least 15Mbit * # users so even at 80Mbit/s line rate there's zero chance of contention between cabinet and exchange. Anything individual operators want to do to contend further is of course up to them.
