Let's say each user has 500Mbps up and down.  I usually break out a shell
interpreter like python and type things in to get them exact.

A single user transfers 150 TB a month with 500 Mbps.

>>> 500*1024**2 / 8 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 / 1024**4
154.4952392578125

So a million users would be a _million_ times that.  Each taking three hops
is a pretty small factor, still beyond petabytes of transfer ... what error
have I made?
