Businesses can tend to use a lot of data but very little off peak, same as gamers and leechers but all times of day , but then you could have very easy mum and dad users that barely use 10% of their quota. <br>
Also then with a L2 set up you need to make sure that you have enough at your highest peak throughput, not enough over an average of the month, else battle the congestion problems. </p>
<p dir=ltr>The best thing to do is to extrapolate off your current customers data, if your provider can offer an aggregate bandwidth graph of your L3 users <u>that</u> will give you an idea of peak usage, and use quota level data to determine, on average across your user base, how much they actually use of their quota in %, and base your pricing on that. </p>
