We have GB/mo figures for our customers for every month for the last ~10
years.  Is there some simple figure you're looking for?  I can tell you off
hand that I remember we had accounts doing ~15 GB/mo and now we've got 1500
GB/mo at similar rates per month.


I'm mostly just wondering what others do for this kind of planning - trying
to look outside of my own experience, so I don't miss something obvious.
That growth in total transfer that you mention is interesting.

I always wonder what the value of trying to predict utilization is anyway,
especially since bandwidth is so cheap. But I figure it can't hurt to ask a
group of people where I am highly likely to find somebody smarter than I am
:-)
