What does a contention ratio exactly mean?
It could mean the amount of bandwidth available per user at the exchange, or at the transparent proxy, or at the international link.
Within South Africa I believe that ISP's should provide ate least two contention ratios:
Firstly the overall ratio (whatever it means) ant the second the "International contention ratio" which is easy to define.
Otherwise you could have a service provider promising a contention ratio of 50 to 1 and having an international ratio of 1000 to 1 ( my estimate for a certain Telkom product punishment)
I trust Sentech will provide both ratios. It will give a lot of additional credibility to their offerings.
South Africa needs World Class Broadband at World Competitive Prices.
