T1 Utilization Question

I'm not sure how to word this question but I'm going to try anyway...

Assumptions: Full T1, 80% of the traffic is a combination of telnet
and www. The other 20% is a combination of Exchange, Netware, other.

At what point, generally speaking, in utilization percentage do the
users start to feel the effects? 50%, 60%, higher? Or maybe lower?

At what point in utilization does a T1s efficiency drop to the point
the users notice? If at 0% utilization the circuit is 100% efficient
then is the circuit 0% efficient at 100% utilization? Is it linear or
is the circuit 50% efficient at 80% utilization?

Does anyone understand what I'm trying to find out? I know there are
several true experts in this group so I hope one of you can figure out
what the hell I'm asking for. :-)

Thanks,
