Numbers are off, Docsis 3.0 Channel Bonding isn’t increasing the bandwidth on a channel basis, it’s bonding multiple 6MHz. adjacent channels together that are the same speeds as Docsis 2.0 (@ 256 QAM). Still have to free up some channels or bandwidth to implement 3.0. Most providers will have to upgrade plant to 1GHz. or remove some channels to implement.
