Just realized I was buying way too much bandwidth for years

Just realized I was buying way too much bandwidth for years. I run a small logistics company outside Phoenix with about 30 employees. For the last 5 years I was paying $1200 a month for a 500 meg fiber line because I thought we needed that much for our warehouse and office. Last month our ISP tech came out to swap a modem and he asked me what our actual usage looked like. I pulled the dashboard and realized we never went above 80 megs at peak. He showed me how to set up proper monitoring and now I dropped to a 200 meg line saving $400 a month. No one even noticed the change. Has anyone else been overpaying because you just guessed what you needed?

Right? I did the same thing with my home internet for two years before I checked.
