Now you're getting difficult! I'll leave you to Google "broadband contention ratio". To my mind it's a budget set by the ISP according to expectesd uage for the provided infrastucture.

I can tell you this, based on my area, 40 homes passed per street box will have low contention particualrly as it might well be that you also have fibre to serve those 40 homes. Of course 4 or 5 menaces can easily swallow the bandwidth by constantly downloading or uploading.

So nw tell us, what's happening with your broadband?
