I use oovoo a few hours every other night, watch a good 2 hours of shows on Hulu about the same and I game a little. Normal surfing and download some too. I have never gotten close. Once I got to like 70% of the 250. FYI I am also not the only on in the house using the net. You can also pay for more and get a new business type plan with more bandwidth. I'm also a youtube junkie.
