Enough Bandwidth?

there is always the struggle of measuring for bandwidth needs and type:

guaranteed(4.5mb dedicated 600-$900) vs best effort(comcast business cable 100mb for approx $200 a month)

New small office with hw vpn tunnel back to main office hour away.

onsite AD replicating across tunnel.
VOIP phones back to IP phone system pbx at main office.
eight users (mostly sales)
conference room with tv and want to do some type of tel/Vid conference back to main office.
moving of 30/40mb art/pic files from and to main office.
of course will wan to prioritize voice traffic and vid traffic vs data traffic over tunnel.

enough/Thoughts?

Thx

Best effort cable is still best effort... my concern is for the VOIP traffic and QoS needs and my AD replication health over that best effort line....

Also, I have request out on MetroE availability but so far nothing. I'm hearing it's coming fro Comcast but guarantee on time.

Thx

i'm not sure comcast business cable offers sip services in my area at this time. I need the phones to allow 4 digit ext dial and work off the PBX IP500 at the other end of the WAN over hw vpn tunnel. Would this be doable?
