It's hard to say. It may depend on the capabilities of your router. A
well-utilized guard node will have thousands of open connections. It can
overwhelm some consumer-level routers. One way to find out...

It looks like Verizon has a soft cap for FIOS customers, between 4 to 10 TB per
month:

Unfortunately, they aren't explicit about it. They claim "unlimited" but send
out warning letters to customers hitting the soft cap. At 170 GB per day, you
would use around 5TB per month. They might notice.
