What does this do to your internet bandwidth?

Thanks, Ken.
So far, not seeing an impact, but I do monitor it closely. Especially on game days in the fall (college football) and of course with the upcoming Olympics in August it could be an issue.
The owners of the company have a very unique mentality that would best be described as "we want the employees to like working here" to which I would add that both of the principals are also big on the employees like them, the owners. That goes a long way towards permitting and allowing a lot of behavior that I have long railed against, been ignored, and later proven right about when the behavior became outrageous. But...as I keep telling myself, it's not my decision.
If I do detect, and can demonstrate, that the WIFI is creating bandwidth issues, then there's always the throttling approach, and maybe someday it will be necessary to discontinue the current free-for-all, but until then I am finding it far far easier to direct rather than detect and fight. Thanks for the thought cycles!
