ADSL Contention ratio is the ratio of potential maximum demand on actual bandwidth.

In other words if there are 50 people using the same bandwidth of a 8Mbps ADSL line then the contention ratio is 50:1.

This in turns means that the actual bandwidth that any one of those 50 users will receive is far less than the 8Mbps.
