Depeonds on alot of things, It could just be how the place has been setup.
In a case of users loging onto a domain controler, you might have a script
automaticly which will check the internet and download any updates to your
anti virus protection, if you have alot of people logging on at once, this
could cause a bottle neck in the interent, would be more wise to have the
clients update from a central point, ie, file server.
It could also be latency, you may find things run alot better with lower
latency. IE, how long it takes for a user to click a link on the internet.
If alot of people are doing this at the same time, with a lower speed
connection, it can cripple it.
It could also be the equipment used with the connection, ie, a cheap router
could cause alot of bottle necks. IE, a 20ms to prosess a tcpip request.
I guess more information is required, as in, what the connection is used for
(ie, ISP, local area network, wan, etc), What most people do (ie, download
20mb database files, p0rn etc)
