The Average Australian Downloads 6GB A Month

According to Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the average Australian internet user downloads 6BG of data per month. How does that compare to your downloading habits?

Lifehacker’s Angus Kidman thought the number would be higher, but I’m actually surprised it isn’t lower. I had always imagined that most internet users mainly used the internet for browsing – but I guess more and more services are requiring increased bandwidth these days.

I have a pretty huge cap, which I often exceed, but there are some months where I barely download anything at all.

What about you guys – how much do you reckon you download a month?
