plug an ethernet hub between your router and your lan, if possible, or between your router and your ethernet switch. Use WireShark to capture packets and analyze traffic.

How many PCs are on your LAN?

If this high bandwidth usage is occurring during non peak work hours also. Get on the phone with the ISP and disable any wireless traffic and see what happens then start unplugging machines one by one. Have them tell you when they see a significant drop in usage.

This is of course not ideal and the software solutions will be better long term but this can be an easy quick fix to find the culprit.
