Heh, at a previous job, I ran the webserver crap and network for bmwusa.com. So, some of the creative people decide it would be a good idea to make this 1MB flash game for the last Bond movie, and then proceed to email all of the people signed up to receive newletters telling them about it. In any case, they forgot to mention it to me so I could tell them it was a bad idea, and I came into working finding 4 T1's completely maxed out. During the sept 11th thing, I worked for a large media site (probably the only one that actually stayed up all day). We pumped out over 500Mbit/sec of traffic all day long, and that's not including the several hundred Mbit/sec of video through Akamai. All of our pages had all ads and almost all images removed too, so that +500Mbit/sec of traffic was almost entirely text.
