From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You have new messages (last change).

The 'contention ratio' is the ratio of the number of available connections and the maximum number of people that are interested in obtaining a connection (or pay for connection).

For example: if an ISP has 100 available modems, but sells an internet service to 10,000 people the 'contention ratio' is 1:100.
