I agree I think they expected sales of 100mbit to be extremely low to the point there was no point allocating capacity to it. However even a sale of just 1 in any given area can significantly change utilisation. I would expect the majority of people paying for 100mbit to be heavy users.

I noticed 3 things in my area.

1 - upstream degraded when the upload speeds were uplifted.
2 - downstream speeds degraded within month of 100mbit been launched and now significantly degraded to the point its almost 24/7 and severe at peak times.
3 - increasing number of outages (maybe I am over 250 on port) or more likely seems rebalance work with each occurance adding users to my port.

The 250 reference from ignition which I am sure he will willingly correct me if I am wrong I think is to upstream channels.
