Thanks… I am going to follow up with AllStream. The bytes/sec are the Max and 
Average. I think their reporting system is broken. RRD reported 1.5Mb/s, it was 
just a table top sitting there until we cancelled the windows updates. Then it 
dropped right back down.

For example if you have a fast connection to a building, and it is being shared 
between tenants.
Without restricting the downstream, user A can severely impact the experience 
of user B.

Why are there 2 values for in and 2 for out?
500 bytes/second is essentially an idle connection.
You are probably looking at some average.

In pfSense you can look at the RRD graphs to see what you traffic was like over 
time.
