The American Diet: 34 Gigabytes a Day

• mattlanger 17y ago
  > The report suggests the average American consumes 34 gigabytes of content and 100,000 words of information in a single day. Whoa, that's a lot of data. Interestingly, though, the Comcast ToS (just as an example: http://www.comcast.net/terms/network/amendment/ http://www.comcast.net/terms/network/amendment/) would see users capping out on bandwidth allotments in just a week at this suggested rate: 250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of data, much more than a typical residential customer uses on a monthly basis. Currently, the median monthly data usage by our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB. Granted, those gigabytes can come via non-internet channels, but that number still seems mighty high.
