well, it took a little thinking to come up with the figure they quote for monthly usage. Consider that a typical 1080p Hi-def video stream is about 750 Kb/sec. if left going 24/7 for 30 days, that would be 2.7 GB per hour or about 64 Gb per day. over the course of a month, that is: 1.944 Tb. now, so far as I know, no one leaves their TV on live stream 24/7 for 30 days. so, given normal usage patterns (tv watching of about 20 hours per week), plus web browsing and email, etc, 1 TB would be max typical for a standard residential circuit. now, I do have a room mate who falls asleep with the tv streaming some content or another, so it's quite possible that we are over 1 TB for the last 30 days. Since I am on biz class here, I don't have to worry about that 1 TB cap. :) -eric from the central offices of the Technomage Guild, Internet streaming Dept.
