Hi!

I'm trying to find an estimation/report of the bandwidth requirements to
download the firehose stream. Anyone here can share this information?

Thanks!

Gonzalo.

You can estimate this yourself by multiplying the average tweets per
day, a publicly available statistic, by the tweet size observable on
the sample feed. You can also factor in growth, daily peak and event
spikes, all also generally observable on the sampled feed. (Roughly
4:1, all in, over daily average)
