Er, no, 512/50 = 10.24
Theoretically, if all 50 people are downloading at full pelt, 10K is all you are going to get... Why do you think contention ratios exist ??? Cos without them, ISPs would not be able to cope with the bandwidth demand placed on them (oh, and BT).
Look carefully at your DSL contract, you may find that the minimum bandwith you are guaranteed by your ISP is between 4 and 15K, not 512K !
Still a load of horlicks ???
