I would guess it had a contention ratio of 1:1, unlike what most of us use in the real world
Like my 30mb connection on which I have seen contention once or twice? This is perfect for high population densitys with good infrastrucure. So if you live down the country with a 1mb line, tough ****. But even Ireland is starting to get usable speeds for this service, citys in England have it and don't even get me started on the Scandinavian 100mb lines. There is a market for this espically if they can get hosting in the centre of the citys in which they are selling to.0 -
