ADSL is a contended service, which means you will
share the available bandwidth with a number of other users. This will
affect the amount of bandwidth available to you dependent on the
number of other users online at any given time. The contention ratio
for business use will be 20:1, meaning up to 19 other users will share
your bandwidth.
