Well. Share bandwidth is like water supply. A colony gets a tanker full of water. It is allotted to all the houses in the colony. So the situation is like, the more the houses the less water each of them gets. Similarly, here, ISPs allot a particular bandwidth line to a group of consumers. Like a 64kbps line to a band of four users. If all of them are online using the net at full flow, each of them get around 64/4 that is 16kbps. If none of the other users is online, you get access to the full speeds of 64. This is the reason why surfing at nights is normally faster (unless you are on the same network as Bhinder 😉 )...Now coming to Sify, earlier they had a 48kbps line shared between 3 users I believe, so the min one got was 16kbps. Now the minimum is 32kbps... and I am not getting that :angry: Sify broadband got the unlimited bandwidth and unlimited time period connections only on shared lines...
