5mbps upstream here. My servers, all together run HTTP (roughly 8 different websites of varying sizes) and all together get ~120,000 hits a month. One of the website accounts for 55,000 hits monthly on average, and it's a picture gallery, so compared to the rest it's a pretty heavy hitter. There's also an FTP server for external use that sees quite a bit of use, not a lot of users, but each user sucks a lot of files off of it every time. I'd estimate it pushes ~5 GB per month. Another server hosts a game server that chews ~200 kbps up AND down per player connected to it and it averages 2 players over the month, although it does have days where it spikes to as high as 28 players for several hours, but the end average for each month is around 2 players.
Bandwidth usage average percentage is nearly 5%. Although I do have spikes, mostly the game server, where I'm chewing finger nails because the upstream is saturated.
