V21 - any good?

512k, unlimited, £16.99 - looks good


50:1 contention, now what does that actually mean?
I know in dialup, contention was "users to modems" ratio - high contention, meant trouble getting on a peak times.

50:1 contention in broadband, is that for througput, rather than connection?
So assuming that 10 out of 50 (20% of users) were all active at once, throughput would drop from "10x faster" to dialup speed, am I reading that the right way?
