Hi all
today i was just checking this railwire broadband and found under price plan its wirtten

Quote:

*Port speeds are on 1:4 contention ratio

which simply means that you will be sharing this line with for other people in your area so that means if you 64kbps speed on 256 kbps connection then also you can not complain about it coz it is written on price plan screen.

This railwire is available in whitefield, Banglore only

Adsl connections has an even worse contention ration so there is nothing bad about railwire.

Correct. I heard BSNL just increased it to 1:50. Crap.
What do they mean by doing it? Have they gone mad ??

1:50 ??
but with how much Bwidth ?

smartflight · 10-05-08, 03:51 PM

I really don't know anything in such detail about BSNL. I don't use it..

It doesnt matter how much bandwidth ... Your question does not make any sense... atleast to me.. could you please rephrase and not be such a miser with words this time..

^^ I think i can understand what he says.. He just wants to know what is the bandwidth this contention ratio is for.. For example if there are 50 256Kbps users on a 12mb line then it should be fine. But if the port is not that fast then it may be a problem

thank you friend,

wel my question was

how much total bandwidth will be divided in the ratio ?

like 1:4 where 1=256 kbps

so in 1:50 , how much is 1=???

1=the connection you have applied for. it doesnt actually mean that 50 people share one connection. it means that say if there are 5000 people with 256kbps connection then 100* 256k b/w will be shared among those 5000 people.
