Currently all Internet Service Providers connect their customers to the Internet, with the aid of one of four companies called ‘Tier 1’ providers, which own the global infrastructure that is the backbone of the Internet. ISPs then purchase the required amount of bandwidth to the Internet based on the number of users expected.

Due to the high cost of bandwidth, ISPs calculate their needs based on the number of users on average that they believe will connect at any one time, usually 1 in 100. However at peak times, it is likely that 20 to 30 users in every 100 will be on-line. This is known as contention.

This means you share your connection with other users, slowing you down to an unbearable speed, or preventing connection to the Internet altogether. At surfdial.co.uk we will always provide enough bandwidth to allow all of our users to get on-line at any time and at the maximum speed your equipment will allow.
