Optimal Contention Ratio for Fiber Broadband Customers

Hello everyone,

What is considered a good contention ratio for general and business customers in fiber broadband?

Recommended Contention Ratios for Fiber Broadband

  • General Customers: 20:1 or lower
  • Business Customers: 10:1

Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) operates differently from traditional copper-based broadband. Since FTTP delivers a dedicated fiber optic line to each property, contention ratios have a much lower impact. In some cases, FTTP can offer a near 1:1 contention ratio, ensuring a more stable and reliable connection.
