Now when they mention 3% is that the same subscribers month over month using that bandwidth, or is it that at any given time 3% of the people on AT&T's network are using 40% of the bandwidth? I might be bored today and do some bandwidth heavy things, but most of the rest of the time I'm just pulling down a trickle of data.
