Ok, so I've been with a certain ISP for a few months and been extremely happy with the service. I originally chose one of their office packages because of the marketed 20:1 contention ratio.
Now, I'm relocating so I've been checking out the latest ISP deals. A different ISP seems to have particularly good prices but doesn't list contention ratios. So, I phoned them to query this and was told that BT did away with quoting contention ratios in 2005 and that companies listing them don't know their own product.
Therefore, my question is: With any ISPs that are quoting differing contention ratios between Home and Office packages, what are they actually referring to? Are they using false marketing? Do they employ some sort of in-house contention system? Is there actually any point in going for the office packages over the home ones?
Thank you all for any useful advice you can offer.
