Nope not true the bandwidth on ADSL between customer and exchange is guaranteed so no danger of contention there, and the bandwidth the TV travels to the exchange over is 'nailed up' so however congested the internet traffic gets the TV will be fine. Google QoS, CoS and most relevant for ADSL CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit).
We aren't too bad, price for not being as socialist as other places in Europe. Most here are better off than most of the USA.

Im aware BBB has sucky peering but I haver never heard of them getting local contention and having problems with speeds to other BBB users.
Thanks for the explanation on how the TV works on ADSL.
For EU I go on feedback of friends who live there. for example germany who is very dominently DSL shaping and slowdowns at peak times is unheard off, they probably do have some form of contention but its low enough so that the customer doesnt feel it.

Its only common sense really. I know this as I have dropped down in speed at peak times which means my area couldn't get the upgrade until they have resegmented and perhaps upgraded..

You sure about this? Their was certianly no reseg when 10 meg was rolled out at my old address and if I am not mistaken their wasnt one for the 3meg rollout either. My own experience tends to be they rollout and **** hits the fan and the resegs come a few months too late.
