      I know this is a crazy question, How much bandwidth for a school enough to surf and view videos online when you have 10 computer laboratories (with 50 units each), 180 computer in the offices, and have 500 wifi users (they vary everyday)? Lets say that they dont surf simultaneously around 50% of that…

      I need some data around from adminis from different part of the world, im in asia by the way...

      Thanks for the info.

        1 Gbps and up would be nice.
        Our company have one customer which have somewhat 200 concurrent users and 50/50 line is just sufficient. All of those are heavy users though

          As reliant as schools seem to be on internet content these days…

          1gBps connection. Limit actual users to 10mbps. Wifi users jjust student devices?  Same thing. Limit by blocks of addresses.
