We have a fractional T1 smart-T through Paetec.  1.33 up and down.
Using paetec portal as the visualizer, our download utilization is
pegged most of the day.  The network is mainly for e-mail, and
reporting from our software vender.  We do have people running
streaming services, but I have asked them not to for the afternoon.
We do have our website on the network but that is a small static site.

Also I am on windows right now trying to do this.

Share and Enjoy
Ben
