Yeh but no but, this is why file sharing is the crippling to a network as it results in constant traffic, so if each of those 76 users is file sharing then you're screwed.

Everything else is very bursty, a web page here, a ftp there, a VOIP over there, all this traffic fits in for the few ms it takes to transfer those packets of data.

76 people sharing a 38Mb connection, many office infrastructures have more users that that sharing 10Mb over a floor with only backbones etc at 100/1000Mb.

The contrarian view is that these users now they are on 10Mb will shift the traffic they need to accross the network faster and thus create less of a bottleneck at the UBR.
