Sections

[edit]

This article should probably be split into sections instead of being lumped into a giant blob of introduction. Craighank (talk) 01:11, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Worked example?

[edit]

Can anyone provide a worked example e.g to answer a question something like:

"If a subscriber purchases a connection with 50:1 contention and a 
1 MB symmetric speed, what would the total bandwidth capacity of the 
ISP have to be if they we able to honour the contract when/if the 
50:1 contention were to be fully taken up?"

I think that the article is saying that if everyone uses the service at the same time they're going to get next-to-no speed and that this next-to-no speed is expressed in the contract as the "contention ratio". Beyond this though I'm as much in the dark after looking at this article than I was when I came here. LookingGlass (talk) 19:33, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
