If your refferring to 'data transfer'
which is the traffic measured from people, visiting, downloading, viewing, email, ftping to and from your website, the determining factors are
how many times
size of images, video's, mp3's etc.
Very hard to measure an average user, we have people who use 5 megs per month of bandwidth right up to people who use 1.5 terrabits which is approx 1500 gigbytes.
Generally we see a lot of people use around 2-3 gigabytes per month if their website is not too busy and they have a forum and some photos.
If a photo is large and is about 1 meg in size, and your bandwidth limit is 5 gigabytes then you could download that photo 5,000 times with approx 5 gigabytes of transfer/bandwidth.
If you have a video on your site and it is around 100 megs your only going to get 50 people to download that before exceeding a 5 gig plan limit.
One example we have a client with a forum who gets 130,000 visitors per month and he is using approx 20 gigabytes per month of transfer.
*Please note measurements above are not accurate and cannot be relied upon for future performance of your website, all clients have full access to an array of Statistical bandwidth reporting in their http://www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel
