You make some interesting assumptions. I have a 2mbit DSL connection [1]
and a 10 and 11 year old. They easily download more than 3gb of data each a
day during weekends and school holidays and when I check my netflow logs it
is all iview and YouTube. I am _very_ sure they aren't torrenting. I would
expect a faster link speed would increase my download rate as video
resolutions would increase.

(Overall, the household downloads about 270gb a month, but I work from home
so that skews things a little.)
