Prior to the current upgrade program it varied between 50 and 250 users per upstream channel. The upgrade programme is supposed to equalise this so that oversubscribed areas have correspondingly more upstreams to share.

I'm not privy to the new ratio.

Eeeps' point about contention ratio is valid except that it doesn't allow the OP to understand the true contention for the upstream in his area.
