I set it up just before Christmas and learned that, for the 12/23-1/22 period (my billing cycle at Comcast), my wife and I used ~100GB of bandwidth. I suspect that's higher than what average will be, as we both work at a university and are off between Christmas and New Year's (which means we were home more), TiVo had just released the Netflix capability and I was playing with that, I was still breaking the Apple TV in and re-downloading multiple HD podcasts, and she had been taking a ton of pictures during the holidays and uploaded them to Flickr during that time.
