We are about to change our exchange enverirment from 2000 to 2003.

Today we have 8 exchange server in our bigger offices more than 100 users.
The new configuration is 2 servers for all our ~2500 users what kind of
bandwidth do we need to our offices without exchange servers. We have today
about 4Mb between the offices and we have lots of traffics ;) do we need
more? is it totally wrong to only build around 2 servers? or do we need
more?

The answer is that it depends. What type of clients? What type of usage
patterns? What type of message sizes? Expectations? and the list
continues....

Client user use Outlook not as a mailsystem more like a file sending to
customers and so on. We typically get large e-mail like 20Mb or bigger but
thats is not a rule we also have user that are "offline" sitting in
customers office and normaly us webmail but they often send large mail back
to office with file attached.
