If you have a gaming desktop and do a complete system wipe, you will be downloading several terabytes of data in backups and games.

Most AAA games these days are in 100GB range, and a steam library of my friends occupies a couple of TB. Also Dropbox / Onedrive give you 1TB of space, and is easy to fill it up with videos and photos.

A continous stream of 1.7 megabits, seems reasonable on both FTTC and FTTH, and maybe even on a xDSL. Definately more systainable than GPU mining
