Parkinson's law of sorts? Use expanding to fill the bandwidth available

One kid with a torrent downloading random stuff, streaming hd and music off the internet etc and a family of four can make decent inroads into gigabit or so I would have thought 

Don't even start counting say a gb here and several mb there in software, os etc upgrades across a variety of devices.

Exrtrapolating from current usage levels on comparatively lower speed broadband doesn't quite make sense to me
