I have seen circuits built and have been working absolutely perfectly with
5:1 contention.  For this scenario I would easily suggest a 2 or 3:1
contention.  Lets face it what are the chances of the three buildings
loading 14 MB each at the same time???  I say nil

Some telcos have some basic oversubscription requirements, designed more so
that they can sell you more bandwidth than as a real practical requirement.

Here in California, for example, the local telco permits no more than a 2
for 1 oversubscription.

So if you have 20 spokes, each at 256K CIR, then you MUST have a minimum
2.56 megabit CIR at your center ( fractional DS3 or ATM ), for example.

I believe the reasoning is that the telco does not want a lot of calls
complaining about their circuits when the problem is overutilization of
bandwidth. And they want to sell you more, of course. ;->
