We are currently planning and are testing a faster Internet service in line with our 512k equivalent competitors. The method to connect that we are testing is USB as opposed to the current serial connection and given that we have an overbooking ratio of only 3-1 and a contention ratio of only 23-1 currently this will be an attractive proposition to the 50-1 contended services elsewhere. I state 50-1 as not many (if any) ISP's will tell you what their real contention ratio is. We will and don't need to hide it.
