its such a huge data download number I have a hard time comprehending--

To get your head around the number, I'll put it into perspective. For 500 gig you need 1 x teenager who only watches streaming video, be it Netflix, YouTube or other and plays on line games on his PC when not watching telly. To this ad 2 x parents that have ditched Foxtel in favour of streaming TV - and you're done - 500 gig a month.

Now, for 1000 gig a month, you need some thing a bit more out there. Take 2 young adults who have just finished Uni. One of these is an IT grad who plays online when not at work and makes a few dollars out of it too (a wannabe pewdiepie) and his girlfriend (my Daughter) who sits next to him like a zombie watching streaming TV every spare minute. Ta da - nearly 1500 gig a month - I kid you not. And they complain about their unlimited download 50MBPS NBN fibre optic connection because 'it dropped out twice last month for a few minutes' - the younger generation have it tough...
