Is my broadband a contended service? If so, what is the contention ratio?

Q
Although the new BT Business Total Broadband Fibre is a contended service, it isn't
contended at the exchange level by the previous 20:1 and 50:1 ratios. However,
this doesn't mean that you'll receive a one-to-one contention. The contention
happens at the national level and only at busy periods.
BT plans the whole network to provide good performance and shares its national
infrastructure between all users. This works well, as consumer use in the business
day is low, which gives a very good performance for business customers. Think of
it as a road network – there's enough capacity to keep traffic moving well at most
times and sometimes there's a bit of a slow-down. But if everyone used their car at
the same time, the traffic would come to a standstill.
