It depends what they are used to or can get.

It will only take 12/480 users downloading to fill the link - 24 to half 
  the speed for everyone.

40:1 contention doesn't sound that bad - I am on a product sold as 50:1 
- but I see NO contention - at all.

The figure of 50:1 is made up, in the UK it seems they can't get away 
with running the exchange link at any more than 15:1 on a 10meg VC (512k 
home customers).

ISPs may further contend - link from teleco to ISP and ISP and to 
internet routes.

I haven't got a clue how many people I share the teleco to ISP link 
with, but I am on one of their four 622meg lines - and contention is 
alot nicer on fat pipes.

Andy.
