No, that's not what it means.

Contention ratio is the ratio in which no. of users content for bandwidth on the same port. In short, 4 people will be using the same port/card at the DSLAM in the exchange. So, if the port/card is 4Mbps, then it's contented between 4 users.

It means that you will get anywhere between 1/4th to full of the mentioned speed. Heh.. I was keeping an eye on this, this sucks anyway. As they have already mentioned the contention ratio, you cannot complain if you get 256kbps on your 1mbps line :|

2Mbps FTW! :D

But aren't we shaking our leg a bit too fast? Let's wait till it's implemented tested out & then raved about before actually going all ga-ga over it & hoping it comes here,there & everywhere.;)

Revealing the contention ratio is considered as an International policy of ethical transparency. There are very few providers who tell their customers straight up about the contention ratio.

BTW, why do you think it sucks? Is it because BSNL has > 1:8 contention? And please understand that contention doesn't necessarily mean that you'll content for the same 2Mbps line, It's the card/port at the DSLAM in the exchange that you'll be contenting for and DSLAM ports can be anywhere between 2Mbps to 100Mbps.
