Talk:Contention ratio

Sections
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)

Worked example?
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)
