RayW, the truth is, the 'average' user is a light user.

When I worked for the ISP, I figured out one day that most people are on the internet for about an hour a day.

It's amazing what the law of averages will do to numbers. Because to get to a "1 hour average" you had to factor in those people who actually Have internet, DSL level, and VERY VERY RARELY use it.

It's amazing.
As in the famous old saw, "lies, damn lies, and statistics"? I am very familiar with statistics, I see the results of the massaging every week at status meeting.

No but really, 1-3gb a month is a VERY realistic number as the "average" person doesn't really sit online that much, and when they do they just check some sites, email, etc and log off. That doesn't add up to much.

IF YOU HAVE FOUND DSLREPORTS.COM YOU ARE ALREADY AN "ABOVE AVERAGE" USER!
