about a third, can be read as around 30%, and from what I can gather
thats a wild over estimation, but all businesses  "talk themselves up"

Just goes to show, the increase is to be expected in the novelty period,
same when 300mb a  month was average for dialup, 3 GB was average for
cable, and I doubt the 31GB for DSL is even real, unless your a warez
kid, because the average DSL used to be around 10-15GB, so more NBN
fictitious inflations, but I guess all the kids screaming for NBN are
mostly all pirates anyway.

Of course, now the kids can file share much easier and get higher
rankings on p2p networks because of the faster uploads, but we all knew
that would happen.
