They said: "1% of users using 30% bandwidth".

So how much is Tmnet's total bandwidth and how many users can it handle?

Correct me if I'm wrong...

1. What is their total bandwidth?
Population in malaysia: 27 mil
Broadband penetration rate: 2.5%
So number of broadband users: 675,000

1% of users: 6,750
Assuming they download at: 800 kbit/s (1MB package)
1% of users using 30% bandwidth = 5.15 Gbit/s

In other words, TMnet's total bandwidth is about: 17.16 Gbit/s

2. How many users does it take to fully utilize their bandwidth?
3.35% of users: 22,612 users
Assuming they download at: 800 kbit/s (1MB package)
3.35% of users is using 100% bandwidth: 17.252 Gbit/s (!)

So only 22,612 users can fully get what they paid for (1MB package).

Looking at the current number of broadband users we have, we have oversubscription ratio of (675,000 / 22,612) = 29.85.

That means TMnet's available bandwidth can support each user with 26.8 kbit/s.

Any other ideas?
