I work at a University now with Gig to every building. I monitor the links constantly and have never see more then 2 or 3% usage, even to the dorms - Why...
Because we have not real apps that use it and our link to the Internet is only Frac-T3.
We even use VoIP and some streaming video tech.
My Advice - By 100M uplinks (Channel if you need more to other buildings) and spend the savings on a better Internet Pipe and applications.
Gig is good for servers, not to a building with 50 people in it, or to a desktop!!!!!
