While people are bickering over 250GB caps on Comcast and 60GB caps on TWC, I thought I might just ask...
That trailing comment made me think the OP was looking for gig per month and not bits per second. Hard to quantify bps because it is so bursty.
Sorry I focused more on this point:
i.e. if you added up all "promised" bandwidth amounts for all users, by what factor would it exceed the line you have going out to the internet yourself?
It's easy to look at peak Bps on a line that has more capacity than is being used to evaluate what a real world oversubscription factor might be. In our case at the time for the data provided you have an O/S ratio of 7:1 however the users never exceeded an O/S ratio of 50:1. Fortunately we pay for usage not the whole 45 Mbps line. The 6 Mbps comes from 3-4 months of usage where once again outside of a few small time periods it burst to 9 Mbps.

we have found that O/S rates of 50:1 or even 100:1 are acceptable as long as you shape the traffic correctly, we have about 500-600 customers on a 20meg circuit with speed ranging from 512k to 2megs and its rarely hits 10megs, i think the most I've even seen on that PoP was 13.4megs when i gave a friend 5megs for him to DL some "stuff for work" i.e. porn
