Why else would a home user need *that* much bandwidth?

Come on, tell me I am *really* interested to know just *what* you all fill your raid arrays with?
Using the newsgroups as an example I could download...

west wing vcd series 5 tv rip 15gb
smallville series 4 tv rip 9gb

I can then download suse linux...

suse 9.3 4gb

Maybe I want to buy half life 2 and download it via steam...

half life 2 from steam 4gb

So in total 32gb without any warez or dvd rips in site and there's plenty more where that came from on the newsgroups. If you maxed out the current 3mb connection you could probably do that in a day, on a 10mb connection it would take about 8 hours.
