None of them do major downloads, just checking information on the Internet and checking their mails. I am paying for 250kbps of bandwidth, they recommended my machines should be formated. That was done but a ping to their gateway and the DNS is very poor. My server is a linux server.
Please i need your response.

I think that it will be slow because they will not have enough bandwidth to use. Each computer may have only 5Kbps to use. 250 / 50 = 5. I would recommend more even that none of them do major downloads.

Wow.... that is pretty slow... At least upgrade to a cable connection I would assume with 50 pcs you can afford their highest tier. You will get much better performance. remember checking information on the internet takes up bandwidth as well. I would change my connection first.

If they all tried to download at once it would indeed be very slow at only 5kbps/computer, but I doubt they are all likely to download at the same moment so maybe not so bad. It really does depend on how the computers are used

That's going to be pretty slow if everyone is using it at once.
You could speed things up a bit by setting up a caching server (squid.)

That is a slow connection, and I would suggest that you go to 10 Meg Ethernet.
