How it works
How Non-Contended works
Currently all Internet Service Providers connect their customers
to the Internet with the aid of one of the four companies (called
Tier1 providers) who own the global infrastructure that is the
backbone of the Internet. ISP's purchase the required amount of
connection to the Internet (called bandwidth) from the Tier1 providers
based on the number of users each ISP has. See diagram below. |
|
| Due to the cost of bandwidth, ISP's calculate their need based
on the number of users that they believe will connect at any one
time, (usually 1 in 100). However it is likely that 20 to 30 users
in every 100 will be online at peak times, this is known as contention.
This means you share your connection with other users slowing you
down to an unbearable speed or preventing connection to the Internet
altogether. At Non-Contended we will always provide enough bandwidth
to allow all of our users to get online at any one time at the optimum
speed of you equipment. |
