Sharing is necessary, as most people simply do not use the internet 100% of the time at its maximum capacity. Sharing access to reduce costs (like a freeway), is how things are done. This is called contention. Do you know how many connections you are sharing your internet access with during peak times?
Here at Rocket Broadband we operate our own network and do not use, or sell NBN connected services. This means we bypass the need to use the in ground fibre and copper network and connect apartment buildings, office buildings, student accommodation, and industrial business parks directly to our network via our own fibre or fixed wireless network.
As this is our network the distribution speeds are designed by us to build more speed into the network, and after all, speed is the the priority.
Unlike traditional DSL networks which had a contention ration of 80:1, or the NBN network with a estimated minimum of 300:1 contention. Our residential services are no higher than 25:1, and our business services are maximum of 10:1
So what does contention actually mean?
Simply put, on the Rocket Broadband network residential users share the internet access with 25 other people at the same time.
NBN network can be as high as 300:1 or higher. So you are sharing it with 300 other connections at the same time. This explains why at peak times, things can slow down.
We like to call it your own private super fast freeway lane, getting you to your destination quickly with less traffic congestion. Nice huh !
We estimate the contention via the NBN is at a minimum of 50:1 on average, providing an average of 2.4 Mbps download speeds. With some built-up areas being even lower. Rocket Broadband peak capacity at the lowest value is 5 Mbps. This is over twice the access to speed when at maximum capacity.
Minimum network speed access avg per connection.
