Here are some historical numbers Chris. I think it is possible to extrapolate future growth from this curve in percentages per year.
Historical Global Internet Traffic Data, 1984 through 2014 Year Traffic (GB/mo) 1984 15 1985 33 1986 65 1987 128 1988 252 1989 498 1990 1,000 1991 2,002 1992 4,444 1993 8,715 1994 25,830 1995 150,500 1996 1,200,000 1997 5,000,000 1998 11,200,000 1999 25,500,000 2000 75,250,000 2001 175,000,000 2002 356,000,000 2003 681,050,000 2004 1,267,800,000 2005 1,802,745,619 2006 2,910,579,371 2007 4,477,367,718 2008 6,491,159,470 2009 9,301,984,735 2010 13,751,003,569 2011 19,974,008,812 2012 26,214,897,380 2013 32,798,830,927 2014 42,423,169,029 Here is a comparison of percentages of growth across a few different industries from 2000 to 2014. Internet traffic increased by 56% over this 14 year period. So, if you wanted to “future proof” your network for the next 14 years, maybe the 56% number is something you could apply to your current pre customer average consumption.
