UK Business Broadband Resources
ADSL ( Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ) provides a dedicated, high-speed Internet connection over your existing BT phone line without ever having to dial. You can use your phone for incoming and outgoing calls while you're on the Internet! When you switch on your computer you are instantly on the internet! your web browser is always ready to go and your email is always instantly available.
Many business and professional Internet users require high speed access to the World Wide Web. Others need to be online regularly or constantly, but do not want to tie-up their existing telephone lines. It is important to realise that when speeds of download are quoted i.e. 2mb/sec that is the maximum that is available for the line. The contention ratio is the maximum amount of connections allowed at any one the time. Most basic lines have contention of 50:1 meaning that at peak times 50 connections (a business would count as one connection) could be all trying to get 2mb download speeds. This will result in a degradation of performance.
For business users it is advisable to have 20:1 or less contention ratios for peak performance all day long. Leased lines have contentions of 1:1 guaranteeing fast downloads no matter what the traffic.
