									*Most 'unlimited' broadband packages have a fair usage policy, which comes into affect if customers are slowing down the broadband speed for others, due to 'excessive usage'
									If the service is local loop unbundled, it allows the service to offer faster speeds and lower prices, but may make it more difficult to switch away.
									The contention ratio is the maximum number of people who can be sharing your connection at a given time. This will affect the speed of your service. The lower the number, the better.
