bottom tier 60:1
middle tier 20:1
top tier 23:1
including upload bandwidth since capping is up+down
bottom tier 66:1
middle tier 22:1
top tier 25:1
bottom tier looks a harsh deal when looking at how the contention is done, but it is very cheap, middle tier is best value for money.
Now if you want to work out if ntl are been generous then consider this, most of their customers are on the bottom tier, after the upgrade you will be contended at 66:1, which is the highest I have ever seen in the broadband market and very profitable, ntl are onto a real winner here and they have cleverly masked it using the new speeds.
Here is the old contention levels based on a 30 gig a month for all.
bottom tier 3:1
middle tier 7:1
top tier 15:1
