The contention ratios for ADSL are supposed to address this. A 50:1
contention ratio means that (using your 2M example) potentially users would
be limited to a mere 40K ish at peak times so your system does not really
save anyone any bandwidth. The contention of 50:1 is often on a mere 512K
connection giving worst case of 10K ish per user.
Tele2 look to have nice ideas with band guarantees but they seem to be as
difficult to get as ADSL.
Mark.
P.S. Keith, don't suppose you have a way to find out any iside info on ADSL
rollout or know who to talk to at BT? So far, BT are plain ignoring all
requests I make for info and the web site rollout information is useless.
