GeverGever, the information we have is not sufficient to predict your bandwidth requirements... basically, you have enough bandwidth until you need more. That sounds like a snarky answer, but there is no other answer to give.

If you understand how your application interacts with the network, you can do things to influence how much bandwidth you require... this requires usability studies and / or lab testing...

Ask yourself these questions...


How will users interact with your site? Are you delivering your browser code and applications efficiently? A simple example... Use Google's JQuery CDN to be more bandwidth-efficient; also set META tags in your HEAD to permit object caching, and forbid robots where appropriate. Compress the images on your site when possible... use http 1.1 w/ gzip... etc...
What will load profile be? See stackoverflow.com/questions/5669648/tcp-ip-application-keepalive-size-and-bandwidth-overhead/5669835#5669835 for more discussion


Once you have lab tested, you will have a much better idea of what your load will look like. Don't forget to add appropriate client WAN delay with something like wanem... this will affect the maximum transfer rate your users can get.
