The interesting part was that the development consisted of 4400 active users the last time I heard but the bandwidth to upstream provider was still only a single GigE and was not hitting serious saturation levels most of the time.

I'd say for any kind of serious FTTH deployment, peak hour average user will be around 0.5 - 2 megabit/s, so if you actually want a user who buys 100/100 to be able to use that at peak hour, you're looking at an oversubscription factor of around 1/10th of the above, ie around 500 users on a gigabit ethernet uplink.
