We saw the same thing starting last fall. Users are about the same but
bandwidth usage has increased. It has been an increase in http,
streaming media and Netflix. I have found the increase in Netflix was
due to them switching from akami to limelight networks for their
streaming content. The Netflix app for xbox is extremely badly behaved.
It will consume whatever bandwidth is available. We have also had some
of our international students using download managers (flashget,
getright, etc) that would open up as many http connections as our
bandwidth would support and they were using them to download movies.

Subject: Bandwidth Concerns
Hi:
Just wondering if anyone else is seeing HUGE increases in bandwidth
consumption from the fall term until now. Any strategies you're using
to address the issue? We're swamped!
