The higher that broadband speeds go, the more that contention will be an issue. You will not get full speed or anything like it with high speed connections unless you pay for a leased line, a very low contention line or are contended with users who hardly ever use their connection. I doubt that Watchdog would show any interest in the matter as contention issues are a feature of low cost, high speed broadband particularly when the ISP has little or no money to invest in the network.
