So I've decided to use some birthday money and upgrade my computer, which means I'll most likely be able to stream TF2. However, my school limits bandwidth usage; while downloads are capped at 100 GB/wk (pretty generous), uploads are something like 20-40. It's still a lot, but I was wondering if anybody have an average weekly upload usage for streaming in 720+?
Question to streamers:how much data do you upload?

I can imagine seanbud, Lange, TrukTruk's stream being a data hog. They stream daily and long periods at that at high quality. Whereas, I think somebody like Tagg streams every now and then with some decent, watchable video quality. I'd expect it to be a lot of data depending on how much you're streaming.

Yes, I know that. My question was how much.
I could calculate it out, but there are so many variables to consider I just wanted a rough estimate; just something a bit finer than "a lot".

I presume it'll just come down to what bit rate you will be streaming at.
(bit rate in kibibits)/1024/8*60*60 MiB
Some quick searching suggests that 2500 or so is adequate for streaming in 720p, so you'd be looking at roughly 1.1 GiB per hour.
