But I also noticed that on my 1mb 50:1 line that it frquently struggled to get above 700k downstream and even then it didnt feel like it.
This being the standard product is where the comparison needs to come in. 20:1 is generally recognised as a business product, or premium product on DSL which you pay more for.
Currently there are probably not as many 20:1 contention users for contention ratios to cause a problem, on 50:1 contention it can be a problem depending on the area you live in, ive seen sub 56k speeds at peak times on 512k 50:1 dsl.
