What exactly is a shared connection (not the one shared by lan but the one given by cable operators), ie how it works, what impact it has on claimed speeds, etc... Please help.

hmmm
ill explain as easily as i can
the thing is they'll have this one line ... with a speed of say T1 ... thats ard 44 mbps ...
each line has channels ...
usually of 64kbps each
these are the B channels !!
now sharing means these channnels are assigned to various ppl ...
meaning one line is SHARED between multiple users
each CHANNEL having a set bandwidth

I think a T1 is 1.5 Mbps and a t3 is 44Mbps . I believe that frame relay follows the shared connection example and not T1

Hence more people online = lesser bandwidth for you (lesser speed)

Hope this helps

Well, i was going thru a brochure and the price for 128 kbps shared was 300 (unlimited) and that for 1:4 shared was 6000 (also 128 unlimited), what does this imply?

This means that a bandwidth of 128K is shared between 4 users (1:4) and baed on the usage of the other three persons you will get the data rate. As the number of shares increase the cost of the connection goes down.
