Nah you misunderstand, channel bonding requires brand new modems, new CMTS, etc, whereas running multiple downstreams is doable with existing kit. While UWB DOCSIS is fantastic it's still a work in progress.

The 'leet' tier isn't going to get pushed to the other channels with the new tech, you'll all be sharing one giant channel, remember?
