Too much downstream capacity if you ask me.
8 channels times 55 megabits = over 400mbps of download capacity. Since TCP uses about 2% of that for ACKs, that's nearly half an upstream channel's completely gone even without anybody uploading a single thing.
(Course they do use ACK suppression so the actual effect may be lower)
