AT&T's 3G speeds are quite good.... I usually see 190-200KB/s sustained which is around 1.5-1.6Mbps

Heres the math I did to see what the maximum a single device could do downloading at 200KB/s 24/7 for 31 days is.

200 * 60 = 12,000KB/minute
12000KB * 60 = 720,000KB/hour
720000KB * 24 = 17,280,000KB/day
12780000 * 31 = 535,680,000KB/month
535680000KB = 510.864258GB/month
