ok i have a question on ADSL the contention can be say 20:1 or 50:1 what i want to know is, the contention shared for a specific loop of an isp on the exchange, say if there are 10 users on aol, 15 users on freeserve, and im on BT, am i assuming correctly that contention is only a factor if users are on the same ISP as me or not ?
