I have a limited (60Gb) download/upload internet plan and was wondering approx. how much data is transferred per day for an online data feed?

I am currently using Zen-fire for the ES futures.
Does each additional instrument increase the data volume proportionally?

Using IQFeed with 14 symbols connected today, I have used less than 100MB. With just ES it would be far less, I don't have that figure because it doesn't apply to me.

The average is about 6KB/sec. I have a 50Mb internet connection, so we're talking 6MB/sec available, and I am using 6KB/sec (1000 times less).

This is full L1+L2 on all symbols.
