Nobody uses 100Mbps continuously. Not even close. Would probably average about 0.5% of that capacity. 16000/0.005 = 3.2 million customers. That's quite close to the 2.6 million they have on the page.


> Nobody uses 100Mbps continuously

Only because nobody can sensibility obtain 100Mbps as a connection. I'm still stuck on 2Mb ADSL.

Where games are now 30-60GB in download, family streaming is a thing. This would be topped pretty easily.


100/1024*86400/8 = 1054 GB every day

You'd have to download 17 of those games every day to saturate your 100 Mbps connection.

It's about 350 hours of Netflix streaming per day.
