250 GB is a lot of bandwidth. I work in a healthcare setting
and we move very large image datasets to offsite backup
and retrieve from offsite backup quite frequently. Our
internet has been capped at 100 GB for about a year now,
even in peak days when we are moving dozens of
MRI/XRay/CT scans, we have never topped 2 or 3 GB of
traffic.
I appreciate that it might be possible to top that by
downloading high definition content over the internet, that
is still a lot of video and it is unlikely that the average user
is going to be moving that much data on a monthly basis.
The casual internet surfer who checks e-mail, buys a few
iTunes shows, and watches YouTube isn't going to be
anywhere close.
