I wanted to know if Netflix has been a problem for other schools, specifically 
those with large residential campuses.

We've seen usage on our campus grow a lot over the past few years, and our 
response has been to implement a bandwidth cap on Netflix from 8 am to 10 pm.  
This pretty much makes Netflix unusable during the day.  When we lift the 
bandwidth cap at night, Netflix takes up around 40% of our total traffic.

I'm curious if other schools are dealing with Netflix bandwidth issues and what 
solutions you have implemented that allows students to enjoy Netflix without 
impacting the usability of the network.

Thanks,
Dave
