I was involved in delivering 1GigE to Dreamhack in 2001 which at the time
(if I remember correctly), 4500 computers that participants brought with
them.
Usually these events nowadays tend to use 5-20 gigabit/s for that amount
of people, so 2x1GE is just not enough. Already in 2001 that GigE was
fully loaded after 1-2 days.
