if NTL advertise their contention level as 20 to 1 then the top tier is 3meg so a 38meg pipe is shared by the equivalent of approx 250 3meg as an example.
and it takes 13 users or more running on max for speed to suffer.

if they're all upgraded to 10meg then the pipe has to be shared by a max of 76 10meg users - and it takes 4 users or more running on max for speed to suffer.
