Im actually surprised to see just how little bandwith my own board is using. With 50 active users online right now ive got an average network usage of about 0.3Mbit or such and peaks on 1Mbit.
And that is with a shoutbox installed, and I suspects thats whats using most of the bandwith. Also, my board is resending the CSS on each page load. By removing the shoutbox and fixing the css issue I think I could drop the bandwith usage about 30%.
So to sum it up, my _guess_ is that youll need at least a 1Mbit connection plus an additional 20kbit for each active user online.
