A 56kbps dialup connection saturated 24/7 will get you ~18GB per month.

Yes, and in the 90s that was a truly incredible amount of data, when most of their customers were probably transferring a few tens of megabytes per month at most.

I don't think I even had 18GB of disk space back then.

My dad bought a 600mb disk at vast expense. What did your dad have?

That was a ton back then! I suppose 300TB/month is a lot too but it doesn’t feel that big anymore

I’m not sure what people are doing at home, but that seems a hell of a lot to me to me. I use 3-10TB a month and thought that was a lot.

I don’t think it’s about people doing it at home, but how we don’t really blink an eye when a terrabyte is mentioned. We will even start getting 60TB drives in a few years.
