[QUOTE=asdf]EVERY other consumer ISP uses shared connections. No one advertises this!QUOTE]
All the ADSL providers I see do display this information.
Thay all say x connection, on a 50:1 / 40:1 or 20:1 contention ratio.
Ntl, as far as i'm aware, do not advertise this.
Even on their own website, when ya goto sign up, there is nothing about the connection being shared. Or am I blind

One from Plusnet, for example, says that it is 50:1 contention, under Your Connection
