I like the stories on the register, but keep in mind that those stories are always told from only one of the sides.

  And now they have double ISDN while the first one is used at 55%, so 26% capacity usage in total.

    Or maybe the CEO knew something that the IT people didn't. Like for example the business was struggling and they weren't expecting the same growth i.e. their capacity planning calculations were incorrect and there was no need for an additional link.

      If another ISDN is the straw, the back is broken.

      Then the CEO should have explained that, end of story. (It's possible that they did, and the retelling is so biased as to exclude that fact. But it seems unlikely.)

    > Once usage ticked past 50 percent, the IT team again made a pitch for an ISDN order. And were again rebuffed – with instructions not to ask again until utilization was nudging 100 percent. If you know that installation of the new line will take N months, and traffic is creeping up X% each month, simple arithmetic will tell you how far ahead you should order more capacity. The instructions of waiting until 100% shows a lack of understanding of logistical capacity planning (perhaps through a bad explanation/communication of the problem).
