It becomes much more an issue on T1 and similar connections when the critical data is flowing at a high rate. Even moreso now for those using VOIP on common bandwidth. If bandwidth is already precious, then streaming can have a negative effect for the business. If bandwidth is abundant, then it is much, much less an issue.

It's the BANDWIDTH! A T1 line is more impacted than a T3. We have around 40 users, and if I had a T3, they could all probably stream without impacting the bandwidth, but if just 10% stream on a T1, it's noticible. We're a not-for-profit, so we can't afford a T3 line. Yet, if the entire office choose to make a phone call on our AT&T lines, it goes unnoticed. Likewise, if everyone plugs in a radio or some other electric device, that too will go unnoticed. Finally, in my house, if my wife turns on the washing machine while I'm taking a shower, I notice a drop in pressure along with a lower temperature. It's all about the BANDWIDTH! LOL!
