Thanks Frank... I do have a customer with 500 meg/sec service running 350 meg/sec average all day.... just 800 employees - no company driven focused use of MS office 365.
Applications used and time of day, etc. So, I don't think one can compare a college's overall app bandwidth usage to a business primarily using office 365. I'm really looking for a "minimum bandwidth recommended requirement for 100 employees all using Office 365 hosted docs that are all outside the LAN. " MS has no such number. MS just leaving it to the individual case-by-case discovery process. I bet Microsoft can't answer that simple question or they wouldn't have these GB per user equations that use X for average document size. Best, I have to go on so far is what one of our customers "thinks" is needed.
