Despite the offerings for massive speeds on residential broadband, they simply aren&#8217;t robust enough to handle the high bandwidth nature of businesses needing to connect potentially hundreds of users to the same connection at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download speeds &nbsp;heavily rely on the contention rate of service, this is basically means depending on how many users are simultaneously on the same exchange which are using the service your actual speed is defined by this. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contention_ratio\"><\/span>Contention ratio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contention is the number of concurent broadband connections sharing <\/span> the same bandwidth capacity at the service provider side. By example, for a domestic style broadband,  a contention ratio of 75:1 or 50:1, meaning that 75 or 50 broadband connections are being shared by one pipe at the provider at one time is common. This is normal practice and doesn&#8217;t usually cause any speed drops, however if a large number of the users sharing your pipe all start to use a ton of bandwidth at the same time; lets say all 50 users start to stream multiple 4k movies at the same time, then the provider&#8217;s systems could automatically throttle the speed down equally amongst those sharing that connection to balance out the load on the provider&#8217;s infrastructure. <br><br>With business grade broadband where the expected bandwidth is expected to be greater &#8211; contention ratios are more likely to be something like 20:1 or even 10:1 so there are greater overheads at the supplier side. Business users are (with their being the capacity for many more users on each connection) more likely to use even more bandwidth at once, so those systems need that extra headroom for scalability when data downloads ramp up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, contention ratio isn&#8217;t as important as it used to be as the impressive scale up of data infrastructure over the past 10 years has meant that providers can handle massive upticks in data requests much more easily, but it is still worth considering if you&#8217;re wondering why you might pay extra for Business Grade Broadband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Think Broadband is an independent Broadband reviews website and lists the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkbroadband.com\/packages?type=business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">current up-to-date Business Broadband packages<\/a> available in the UK.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Run_two_broadband_connections\"><\/span><b>Run two broadband connections<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is common now for many business to store and host <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">documents, emails and even a full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/voice-cloud-hd\">IP based phone system<\/a> off a cloud based hosted server. It is essential to have a reliable and stable broadband connection to keep your bussiness up and running no matter what, so separating  voice and data applications<\/span> is a sensible failsafe to have, so if one connection drops, then you still have some method to communicate with your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Annex_%E2%80%93_M_ADSL_2\"><\/span><b>Annex &#8211; M &nbsp;ADSL 2<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his allows the provider to sacrifice some of your download speed to increase the upload speed.
