Fourth option: Assuming that the real issue is bandwidth, not
productivity: get buy-in from management, and do an education campaign
on reducing unnecessary internet usage. Post usage graphs in prominent
locations, make it part of the culture to be good internet users. Make
it clear that the alternatives are spending money on things that aren't
productive (more bandwidth or traffic shapers) and thus less profit
and/or money for more useful projects or significant changes in
policy. Give them the incentive to change their usage in positive ways,
so you can all resume working on productive stuff.
Ultimately, this is a management decision on what they want to do, what
kind of work environment they want, and where they want to spend time
and money.
