Probably because that's what they were given as a figure.

I can 100% guarantee you that if everyone were maxing their connection at the same time you wouldn't get 2Mbit, however everyone is never maxing their connection.

Unless of course ntl make so much money out of internet services now that they can afford to give a 5k card to less than 200 users (assuming a 2 downstream card) - not likely

I certainly could tell you what the planning guidelines were aiming for as far as user density and users per downstream goes, I'm just not going to
