Okay 18Mbps becomes about 1.8 mega bytes per second, divide 10-50 
customers...

180 Kilobytes per second is a tolerable download speed, but some users 
may complain... as they are used to 500-1500kilobytes download speeds 
;-)

Then if 50 customers... 180 becomes divided by 5, but maybe not likely 
that 50 customers all download a file at the exact same time. Depends 
how "busy" the "busyness" is :-)
