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]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Contention ratio. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
