Dedicated vs Shared Internet — Why Speed Differs
Have you ever wondered why your 10 Mbps package sometimes gives you only 6 or 7 Mbps speed? That’s because most home internet connections are shared (non-dedicated), not fully dedicated lines. In this article, Dadulink explains the difference in simple words, with an interactive calculator below 👇
⚙️ What is Dedicated Internet?
Dedicated Internet means the full bandwidth (e.g., 10 Mbps) is reserved only for you — you’re not sharing your line with anyone. The result is stable speed, 24/7, ideal for offices, servers, and CCTV networks.
🌐 What is Shared Internet?
Shared Internet is what most home and shop users get. Multiple customers use the same bandwidth pool. During busy hours, speeds drop as many users share the same capacity.

Dedicated Package
Stable 100% speed, all day
For offices, schools, CCTV, professionals
Shared Package
60–90% of total speed (varies)
For home, small business, mobile users
📉 Why Do People Get Confused?
- They see “Mbps” in packages but “MB/s” while downloading — these are different units.
- 1 Byte = 8 bits → so 10 Mbps ≈ 1.25 MB/s maximum speed.
- Shared users get around 60–90% of their plan speed depending on usage load.
- Network quality, signal strength, and background apps also affect real-world performance.
