FTTH Contention ratio

A+-Guru

Does anyone know if the contention ratio for EIR Business FTTH 1000MB is the same as the residential EIR ?

I don't know the answer to this one but does it matter?

I have yet to see any area where FTTH has been deployed being affected by contention.
Other parts of the network have had issues depending on the ISP but not the Fibre that runs from the home to the exchange.

The glass is shared at 32:1, the actual contention isnt in the docs that Ive seen. At best its 4800:2400 at worst its 32000:2400. I doubt they'd permit 32 subs at 1G though, that'd be a little silly.


Tux is probably correct though, even the lad downloading a 140GB game is only going to be at 100% CDR for mins. With around 90 people per strand taking 3x per subscription the total demand possible should not be that high. The exception might be a business of 100 people sharing as strand with a housing estate. Maybe, during COVID only.

Thanks for replies, was just wondering as trying to decide to go Business or Residential

If you're considering either they're exactly the same product.

The real "business" product is about 10x. SME packages are just reskinned residential.

Thanks for that

I'd take it that the reskinned SME packages 'might' have slightly better support if/when it goes down or you have issues ?

Many moons ago, yes. Not since they moved out of Dublin. Now its residential + sme = get morons. Enterprise = get the NOC (as the caller knows what they're doing at that point).

Nah. And you don't get a better SLA either.
