Most people would rather share among 32 people than hundreds that reside on a cable node.
If you get the speeds consistently, who cares how many people you share with?

This whole "cable is shared bandwidth" argument is a tired leftover from when DSL was actively comparing itself to cable.

Depend how much bandwidth are shared on a node
at 100mbps 32 per node it seem pretty good
at 1gbps 320 per node still good
the speed that each user get also affect the network
OOL is trying to get ahead of FIOS but it will lose in the end like rabbit vs turtle race lol due to exhaustion, lack of bandwidth
