Well you just need to look at the logistics of it, a ubr has a capacity of under 40mbit so its now taking less user's to saturate the downstream, which equates to higher contention. It has never been denied by any staff and one member of staff has sort of admitted it is increased. Its more or less the same situation with ipstream adsl, bt were undercutting the contention for years with 512kbit and it was nowhere near the advertised 50:1 ratio, now people have 2mbit they are seeing contention, and they can expect nearer 50:1 when 8mbit maxdsl is reached. With higher speeds at the same price its too expensive to maintain the same ratio's.
