Rep Power: 12 | Adsl connections has an even worse contention ration so there is nothing bad about railwire. |

Rep Power: 3 | Correct. I heard BSNL just increased it to 1:50. Crap. What do they mean by doing it? Have they gone mad ?? |

Rep Power: 2 | ^^ 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 |

Rep Power: 0 | 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. |

| Amor vincit omnia | Please can u explain this? Where did this 100 come from? I am speaking about the 100*256 listed in the post. |

| Amor vincit omnia | True. The local exchange is connected to the national internet backbone. The connection between the local exchange and this backbone is usually kept in the contention ratio. It means if a service provider claims to use 50:1 as contention ratio, it represents the contention which exists between the exchange and the backbone. Since the bandwidth on the backbone part is immense, contention ratios have negligible effects on the subscribers. That is why speed tests of a DSL connection always gives 75-100% of the promised bandwidth. |

You can get the same information from your service provider or you can ask any expert in Internet services policys. As i have already worked with Global Crossing in their retail business unit in US they have this same policy for their customer also and for lease line it is 1:1 | |

The speeds are mentioned in their plans are the speed of the port and actual speed is vary from the original. the speed what they give is calculated from their distribution node in your are or their main node in other words (NOC) network operation center. So guyes don't excited the speed is same but you can only feel little difference. becasue in india all ISP are peering the bandwidth with NIC (National internet exchange) for damastic traffic routing. First get connection then feel the speed and your experience. | |
