Throughput      data/hour    data/day       data/month    data/year

128 Kbit/sec    57 MByte     1.4 GByte      41.5 GByte    505.6 GByte
1 Mbit/sec      450 MByte    10.8 GByte     324 GByte     3.8 TByte

200 GByte a month is about 610 Kbit/sec ("kbps") continuous.
24 TByte a month is about 74 MBit/sec continuous.

Networks must be provisioned for "peak use" periods, which likely correlate for
users in the same region, so enforcing or charging for total throughput doesn't
seem to make much sense?
