280 users on 3MB is pretty conservative these days. I'd suggest you fire up Cacti and ntop. They are VERY useful tracking tools.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 February 2011 16:57 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Bandwidth Usage I am having to explain to some pita's what uses up all the bandwidth when they are wanting to get on the Internet. For these pita's the Internet is wide open. So they can get music, video, large files, etc... If I told them listening to the radio via Internet or watching video's on the internet or setting a lot of graphics in their email background causes some lag in Internet usage I would correct? What else eats up the available bandwidth? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 100 1464 84 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
