I realize most of the NANOG operators are not running end user networks anymore. Real consumption data:

Overall average: 36GB/mo
The user at 836MB per month is on a 3.5Mbps plan paying $49.95/mo. Do we do anything about it? No - because our current AUP and policies say he can do that.
Thanks for the stats, real life is always refreshing :) It seems to me -- all things being equal -- that the real question is whether Mr. Hog is impacting your other users. If he's not, then what difference does it make if he consumes the bits, or if the bits over the air are not consumed at all? Is it because of transit costs? That seems unlikely because Mr. Hog's 800gb is dwarfed by your 3658*36gb (almost three orders of magnitude). If he is impacting other users, doesn't this devolve into a shaping problem which is there regardless of whether it's him or 4 people at 200GB? Mike
