Currently, at my apartment with 3 people, we're pushing 450GB/mo on a light
month and over a terabyte on heavier months, and that's on miserly ADSL2+
20/1 all thanks to YouTube and Netflix for the most part. If we had faster
connections, we'd be pushing a fair bit higher as I'd be in a position to
start backing up more of my data offsite.

How much data would you be backing up per month?

I've seen people say they need no quotas and high speeds for what is
actually just a single one off large upload. Subsequent months their
backups are likely to be no more than 10% of the initial backup.

The extreme case is usually not the common case.

average household these days. For all the flak TPG gets (and their stupid
lack of IPv6), I will give them credit for not having shaped me in any
shape way or form on their unlimited plans.
