This case requires the physical splitting of the cable segment and the addition of optical nodes. These new nodes will require fibre and power (and a home).

I'll take "overutilised" to mean, say 90% of capacity. The capacity of 8 downstream channels is c. 400 Mbps. That can't be utilised > 100% obviously.

If you mean a user's cable to the home, then if the sending end can deliver at the sync speed (say 100 meg), then across the 8 bonded channels, the user is only utilising 25%.

If you mean the aggregation cable back to the optical node, then it's easy to reach 90% on those 8 downstream channels with, say, 20 users realistically downloading at 20 Mbps (a delivery rate from the sender).
