I just switched to viewing all video either as downloads or live streams. Many downloads are 780p HD. For me this requires about 1GB to 2GB daily. I also upgraded to a 20MBs downstream link from Comcast and typically see download speeds averaging 5Mb/s. Even with the the Comcast cap of 250GB per month current products sold by US ISPs can easily meet a reasonable demand for video.
