internet speed is small (10M/bit for 50 person), it need to control users bandwitdth and internet usage, so need to make office staff can use normal speed.
If there is no way to solve i will give limit per ip, i think it will keep traffic normal

Thanks a lot to everybody!!!

That is not viable - just have them hotspot off their phones for gosh sake.. That is isn't even internet..

200K that is what you would give each IP? That is like a edge connection (2g)..

I could hostspot off my phone for your 50 users and give them better speeds ;)

You can use dynamic Limiters to ensure the available bandwidth is shared equally. That can work quite well in these situations.

10mbps though... You can get that on a plane ;) while its flying.. ATG-4 does 9.8Mbps - and your normally sharing it with far fewer people than 50 ;) since not everyone is paying and using it...

And if newer plane doing 2ku

Are you in the middle of nowhere? Not sure how you thought sharing 10mbps with 50 people would be worth anything? Did you drop a zero did you mean 100? ;)

Ha. There are, unfortunately, still plenty of people even here in the UK who would kill for 10Mbps. I imagine there are other places in the world where far less than that is expected.

But to share that with 50 people? Come on - that is not realistic... Unless you were in the middle of freaking nowhere..

Fire up a 4G/LTE hotspot and you have more than 10mbps... The UK is pretty freaking small ;) What like half the size of California... Your telling me you can not get 10mbps LTE pretty much anywhere?

Or maybe throttle the users.

It's certainly not ideal, but in certain circumstances, that's all you have. I work for a healthcare org that has 120+ sites. While our data centers have dual gigabit, several of the clinics are indeed sharing a 10 Mbit or even 5 Mbit MOE circuit. We even have a few clinics that are sharing a single T1... it's insane, but real... unfortunately.

And your saying that is the only thing available - these clinics in the congo 300 miles from the nearest village? Bringing medicine to the natives?

Or company too cheap to pay for anything better.. I would think even the cheapest home internet connection in the area would be better than a freaking T1 ;)

There is no cell coverage in the area? Cradlepoint and a sim card would be faster than a any of those speeds.

A real T1? These days, those are generally emulated over Ethernet. I first did that over 10 years ago. They have also been run over SHDSL for many years. I was working with that stuff back in the early '90s.

I suppose there are still some parts of the world that rely on 2 cans and a string.
