What is the industry standard to estimate WAN bandwidth for following applications per user:
email
ftp
web browsing
For a company of the size of 30 using the above applications, what is the number to use to calcuate the total bandwidth? 10, 15 or 20?
Thanks for advance.

There is no industry standard AFAIK.
It depends what are you doing.
Sending e-mail just short messages withou out
large attachments a 64Kbit line might be more
than needed. Also How fast needs the mail to go
out or come in....
Is it a problem if a mail transfer of 10Mbyte
takes 30 minutes or not...
Are you running a WebServer with lots of visitors
maybe a 100Mbit line is too small than.
For average Webbrowsing & FTP transfers
(Not P2P continuesly) A 256Kbit line might be
quite sufficient.
Do you need to download ISO images a lot 1 or 2
Mbit line might be better suited...
It really depends, otherwise look for an ISP that
will allow you to upgrade a line to a higher
speed (if possible) if it appears to be to small
in bandwidth.
HIH,
Kind regards,
