What is a good contention ratio?

Contention ratio is the amount (or ratio) of an Internet service provider’s bandwidth that is shared between clients. The best contention ratio is a 1:1 (a low ratio). A low contention ratio means that more bandwidth is available to you on the network at any time. The lower the contention, more expensive the service.

What is your contention ratio?

Contention ratio refers to the maximum demand divided by the actual bandwidth available on a connection. The higher the ratio, the larger the number of people on the same “pipe”, as it were.

How do you calculate contention ratio?

To figure out your contention ratio, you basically have to find out how much bandwidth you have available, and then figure out the maximum amount of bandwidth you have “sold”.

What is the contention ratio for fiber?

The ratio of how they oversell their services is referred to as a contention ratio. For example, the contention ratio of most other ISP’s business products is set at 10:1. This basically means for every 1 MBps they sell, it is shared between 9 other Businesses/users, 10 including yourself.

Does FTTP have contention?

Is Fttp a dedicated line?

A leased line, also called a fibre leased line, is a dedicated fibre optic service provided directly to the premises. Unlike FTTP, a leased line connects directly to the public internet over a dedicated fibre optic cable; there’s no sharing of infrastructure as there is with FTTP.
