Cable by design has a contention ratio between you and the UBR of about 22:1 maximum, which is what you get on a high-cost premium ADSL service.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Sorry but Cable has a much higher contention than that. You share your connection with everyone that is hooked up on your Cable box at the end of the road, and then it gets greater and greater with every Junction is comes accross. So Cable suffers a contention the same as xDSL. I have not testes Cable or ADSL i am just going on hear say. Although if i had the option of both ADSL and Cable i would choose ADSL for it's stability compared to cable![]()
