Rather than the number of customer it should be the bandwidth contention ratio.

If Virgin use 50/1 then a 20Mb upstream channel can support a total sum of 1Gb/s for all users.

That would give 100 100Mb/s(10Mb/s U/S) users or 1000 10Mb/s(1Mb/s U/S) users.

Given a mix then somewhere between the two.
