I was trained by Lucent when I was responsible for Performance Engineering at AT&T Wireless. I had it take over a year to add T1's in some places. With that said, I do like Tom's full explanation as average usage should also come into play. Basically, it comes down to how you want our network to perform. Having too much bandwidth (is there really such a thing?:) can be a waste during off-peak hours. I look at this a bit differently though as my business customers are using the network for much of the off-peak hours. Also, a lot of gamers take the early morning shift so they get less lag. With bandwidth costs down, I'd rather get a reputation for being fast. When they were high, I just did as much as could do towards that goal (caching, etc).
