subscribers within a 100 metre radius (The limit of the Cat5 cable, IIRC). I expect the connection to be better than others, especially better than services offered via the cablewallahs since bandwidth is not shared.
Bandwidth is shared, If it wasn't, the Internet as we know it would not exist. At most it would be shared after the first peering point, but it is still shared. You will get better individual bandwidth the closer you go to the backbone. If you want better speeds upto the first peering point, get a switch instead of a hub. Witha hub, your have a worse situation than a cable modem, since the modem does not broadcast like a hub.
