The way I make them understand is that I tell them that I have hundreds of businesses (call them by name) that use less than 3gigs of data transfer a month. I also tell them that it is relatively impossible for them to even get close to 2 gigs of transfer by sending emails, general surfing, goggling...etc without hitting the P2P stuff downloading movies & music. We do limit p2p on this network as well as limit residential threads onto the internet. We have always shaped the P2P on the network as a whole, but only in the last 2 months have we limited the connections. I must confess that it brought the bandwidth utilization down by 7mbps. That is a TRAMATIC difference!

They worry because they don't see this with the 'big boys' that advertize & don't sevre their area. Do you find it takes alot more selling/education for each sub?
